I would say ITV4, but only for boxing, and some movies.
I don't really like More4 or Sky Three.

More4 one hundred percent.
Sky Three is basically the free-to-air version of Sky Two.
ITV4 has barely nothing decent to fill its schedule, a bit like ITV1.
Although I havn't watched More4, I find it the classiest, with the wider appeal and the good programmes on show.

More4 definitely, although Sky Three can be strangely "worthy" too.

I watch More4 more than BBC4 - and I do like quite a bit on BBC4.



I think one of the unexpected side effects of More4 though was it gave BBC4 a good kick up the backside and it's a better channel as a result.


I agree with the majority and cast the opening vote for More4, although I must admit that initially I was disapointed at the lack of the much hyped "Monday events" - but quality is more important than quantity. They've also got their niche of supporting their schedule with the more popular, but still high brow, dramas like NYPD Blue and Without a Trace.


Re: Deal or No Deal - notice now the 6pm episodes are a repeat of yesterday's edition! Countdown still seems to be a few weeks behind too - a consequence of More4 not scheduling extra episodes when the Saturday editions aired earlier in the year.



ITV4 - I honestly can't think of a single programme I've watched on it since launch!


Sky Three - it has it's moments and if it concentrated more on the recycled content from Sky One rather than all the Sky Travel programmes it would improve alot. I think also with Sky Three there is a lack of awareness about what is on when - there are some great programmes there (mainly reruns of Sky One US dramas) - but once you realise they are often half way through the series!

Definately ITV4. Live sport, some classic ITV action series, some previously unearthed US series and some great cult movies.

More4 hasn't lived up to it's early promise at all. Very disappointed by the Death of the President, and the vast majority of it's content is from Channel 4 or destined for the main channel a week or two after.

Sky Three has a good show every now and again, More 4 and Itv 4 are rubbish IMO, but overall all three of these channel were a dissapointment. Sad

More4 for me. It has been a good resource for catching up with repeats of Channel 4 programmes such as Deal or No Deal, Paul O'Grady and Richard & Judy. Its news programme is also a good addition to digital television - better than Palestinian Women Today on BBC Four (or North Korea Tonight, as it was on Friday).

None of them to be honest - none of them have had anything worth watching in my opinion.

More4 for me. I don't watch it that much, but I watch it more than the other 3. ITV4 doesn't appeal to me and I never watch Sky Three because all the things I like to watch are on Sky's One and Two.

More4 if only for The Daily Show w/ John Stewart.

More4, for actually having original programming and a purpose other than a dumping ground for repeats. Sky Three is a glorified advert for Sky digital, while ITV4's most popular programming (sport) would have been shown on ITV2 a year previously anyway.

More4. An excellent channel providing a diverse selection of programming.
