It has to be BBC 1 for me. ITV doesnt even compare to BBC 1 anymore. ITV used to be my favourite channel (in the good old days), but not any more, appart from Corrie. Its a so called advert channel now addays, meaning they show more adverts than programs! (no smart remarks about that last comment please, im just being sarcy) BTW I watch a lot of UK Gold aswell, great for commedy!

There's the further confusion with S4C, of whether we watch the analogue or digital versions.

For those not local to the Principality, the terrestrial analogue version is a mix of programmes in Welsh and time-shifted Channel 4 programmes; whilst the digital version is all in Welsh, all the time.

When I first got Sky Digital, although I'm on the English side of the border, I rang and asked for S4C and S4C2 to be added to my package, so I could watch the C4 programmes at more convenient times. It was only when I tuned in that I realised the service was different.

It's nice to help keep up my schoolboy Welsh though, and I find myself watching quite a bit of it.

S4C is based on the analogue version. i accidentally missed it out.
should you want to vote for S4C then register your vote under channel 4

That's about right, Aztec, though it's known to everyone as 'ess pedwar ek', which is the phonetic Welsh way of putting it.

Now that I have my broadband internet connection, I'm hooked on watching BBC World! Such a great channel, shame about the breakfiller!
