Around the time when they launched 'Sky Multi-Channels' and the logo was the circle with the Sky Sports logo looking like this lSlPlOlRlTlSl , Whenever that was exactly?

Same here!

I got Sky in 1989 and BSB when it launched. I also got cable in 1996, but I soon dumped it in favour of SkyDigital in October 1998.

All throughout though I had Sky and I did until a few months ago.

Not quite such an early starter, but a *fairly* early starter ... late 1991 ...

So I'm coming up on 10 years of brainwashing from Murdoch : )))

Just over 2 years - I got it on July 31 1999 - just a few months before News 24 went corporate!

I got Sky Digital in July 1999, and ON Digital a year later when coverage finally reached my area!

Yep 1989 here too.
I can't remember not having Sky actually. Although I remember very little of the original Sky idents. Only the Sky Movies theme sounds familiar.
Although I remember all of the 1993 idents perfectly.

I have had Sky Digital for about a year now and had On digital in my bedroom for about 6 months.
