so who's watching bbc knowledge?

I know, flipping boring. Thank goodness for the cooking channel. :D
 
bbc knowledge only shows old shows... they should rename it to bbc archives. it's very boring, I'll rather watch Gordon Ramsey swear the **** out of people in his kitchen, it's a lot more entertaining...
 
I did enjoy the one where he knocks Japanese cars. It would take on Faulty Towers in the comedy stakes.:D
Was it Episode 1?
 
I find the channel name quite ironic. Knowledge implies learning something new - how is this possible if all that they televise are repeats of repeats of repeats of old shows?
 
What bugs me is not so much repeats, but the brazen regularity, sometimes with 30 Episodes back to back!!

I enjoyed the comeback of Faulty Towers in their Entertainment section, but then they promptly repeated it again in the same time slot. Now that takes brains.

IMO that applies equally to all DSTV channels - basically it's a case of [Mo]noChoice.

That's true - I am becoming more and more disenchanted with DSTV of late. Including the Sports channels which is a first for me. The documentary channels no longer have a single new show on that is (IMO) of any interest.

BBCK - no new Top Gears at all - they're now all repeats.
DISC - No new Mythbusters at all - again, all repeats. Time Warp is vaguely interesting for a few minutes but one can only keep a crowd entertained with a slo-mo for so long before it becomes boring. No new Universe shows. And even though I don't really watch them, the motor and chopper shows appear to all be repeats. Brainiacs are all repeats. And in fact this channel is showing repeats of shows that have been repeating consistently for over a year now.
HIST - repeating all old episodes now. Haven't seen anything new in ages there.
NATGEO - all repeats apart from the odd wildlife show. The one I watched quite often was Earth Investigated but those are now all repeats of the intial repeats that I began watching.

Sports:
Channel 200 -shocking and I started a thread about them already.
SS1 - repeats channel
SS2 - Right now it's mountain biking for an hour and then triathlon. WOW! Riveting stuff!
SS3 - mostly local football crap now. Couldn't care less.
SS4 - Should be renamed to PSLTV - it's the suped up version of SS3, without the international football.
SS5 - only ever worth it at 3am when international cricket overlaps something else - like an important replay of Ajax vs Swallows :rolleyes:
SS6 - not sure I've ever watched any of the rubbish on that channel
SS7 - La Liga TV is all that it's become.

Movies: DSTV appear to have limited the extent of their movies to "B" and "C" Grade schit these days. And they haven't got a clue how to "sell it" in the description. Such as this corker - "A man has to make a large decision in his life when things change for the worse" WOW, fscking epic - sign me up for that schit please!

DSTV are now heading towards the top of my schit-list and will be first to go if I decide to cut back on expenses, or replace them with alternatives...
 
@DJK - I agree with you their, they currently have a monopoly on the market and isn't working that hard anymore to stay the market leaders so they provide sub standard shows and nobody can really do anything and they are raking in millions, plus how about their HD "channel". You pay how much extra to be able to see stuff in HD and then the thing fails now and then plus you pay for 1 channel? I mean WTF? Are people stupid?
