Could anyone advise which (if any) of the multitude of adult channels available on Sky are worth watching. I dont want to subscribe monthly or whatever, but just every so often. I read on here that the Sportxxx isnt very good, but dont know which of the others is. Also are the pay per view films any good? I assume none of them would be hardcore but wantg better than I could see on Channel 5 e.t.c.

Thanks

If i were you Big Ron i would give Sky a miss all together!!!.

There are much better adult channels available on Hotbird 13/16 degrees or even better still go for Hispasat 30deg although you will need a 1 metre dish.

Thanks Nobby

But unfortunately it isnt my house or satellite system, so I will have to make do with whats available, which unfortunately is only Sky.

Your assumption is correct - all Sky channels are softcore, however it is possible that this could change latter in the year (see www.ofwatch.org.uk)

That's really unfortunate Ron, because using a little bit of ingenuity and help from guys like Paul T you could get some cracking stuff at a cheaper cost than Sky.

Is there really no way you could put a dish up?.

You could buy what's called a Patio Mount, which when fixed to a Concrete paving slab is viable option which is not permanent and needs no drilling.

This is ideal if you have a flat roof or a large garden, it is also relatively cheap (about ? to ?30).

Have subscribed to TAC ,TVX and the playboy channel on and off for years.
Always end up pissed off having paid for dross. The occasional glimpse of pussy or hard on isn't worth the dosh.

Don't believe that they will go H/C because they already make a fortune pumping out the same tired old product (ala Sullivan et all)

Viking, I would like to correct you there, I know all the big companies would love xxx broadcast to legal, and the pressure is on with the new ofcom body that now governs bradcasting. There is always a market for softcore, as not everyone is a hardcore fan,

This would be a great thing I feel for producers in the U.K and finally we might reach the budgets we need over here to really give our industry a boost.

I have seen some Spice Platinum and they often show hardcore versions of the edited stuff put out on the adult channel - have seen Laura Jones for example in hardcore.

Does anybody know if this 'hardcore' material is available in th UK or is it available on R18 if so how good is it ? Class Action is a paticular favorite of mine.

Cheers

Well I will say Spice purely for the reason that my first adult series will soon be broadcast on there.

Thanks Nobby, but I really am having to make do with Sky.
