Of course I'm being a bit of a humbug when I denounce Sky and the Digger.
I don't read The Times which went dodgy long before the Digger, when that Thomson fellow bought it and banished the small ads from the front page, doing away with proofreaders at the same time. But there is a substantial Sky HD package in the house where I live. I am not the subscriber but it has the F1 channel which faffs away a lot of the time and Sky Atlantic, on which I watch the superb dark, amoral Sopranos a couple of times a week, HBO's intelligent portrait of raw cash-capitalism now. There's other classy American TV on it too, the quirky Curb Your Enthusiasm for example.
The reason it's here at all is for the movie channels. Naturally I enjoy those too.
