Which is the best Television Channel?

There are too many options for a poll but what do you believe is the best channel, terrestrial or otherwise and why?

For me it actually is UK Gold. They may not show new programming (of course) but they show all my favourite programs from yesteryear.

For me - price-drop.tv

Ahhh . . . the tacky music and graphics, the sheer naf products, the crew made up of 12 year old work experience trainees seeing what happens when they point the cameras at the monitors in the studio to create swirlly psycadellic images . . .ahem . .I mean . . .er . . . yes. Price drop tv it's got to be!

That's a tough one - as there's so many different channels out there - many of which are specialist.

For me, it's between UKTV G2 (for Red Dwarf) or nation217 (for Jamz and Flipside TV)

I like UK Gold too. You can't beat a good comedy! I also like LivingTV for showing The Golden Girls at the weekend. Gosh, I'm sad!

For me Paramount Comedy and Paramount 2 win hands down! You can't beat classics like Cheers, Seinfeld and Minder on a daily basis. Plus they had a Peter Kay special on the other night that was hilairious, plus they dug some stuff out of their archive too. Plus I enjoy the repeats of Baddiel and Skinner, The Frank Skinner Show and The Sketch Show whenever they're on.

Frankly if they got these on Top Up TV I'd happily get rid of cable. (How sad does that sound?!)

Ah yes, good old Paramount. Seinfeld's my favourite US comedy, and they also show Frasier, which is good. I'm glad they started Paramount 2, as it means Seinfeld is on pretty much all the time now. Previously, they had it on and off throughout the year.

Oh yes forgot about Paramount Comedy. Their Lee Evans special a couple of nights ago was brilliant television!

For me at the moment it has to be Challenge, as they currently have brought the rights to show all 8 series of Knightmare (series 1 starts this Monday @ 7:30pm).

I'm a "stupid" ITV1 viewer - it's my most popular button so I'll say ITV1. Other channels have some good programmes, but not enough for me to call them my favourite channel.

Yes forgot about that. Didn't they start showing it at Series 2?

No they started originally with just series 3 but added more as interest in the programe grew they purchased the rights to series 4 to 8. The reason they haven't shown series 1 & 2 until now is because it was filmed in an obselete format which costs a lot to transfer to a readable format.

At a slight tangent there is plans for a new series "Knightmare VR". Further info about that can be found at: http://televirtual.com/news2.htm

I'll go Channel 4. They might show some utter crap like Big Brother, and if it was the only channel you had it wouldn't meet your every need, but it straddles the balance between public service and commercial well for me, broadcasting programmes that on any other network would be commercial suicide, putting the news on in primetime (7pm - even the Beeb would never consider that on 1 or 2), and providing a good mix of that and popular programming. I've always felt sorry for terrestrial viewers in Wales that this is the channel messed about with to make way for S4C.
