 IN SUMMARY THE GOOD CHEAP IDEAS SO FAR 


1. STOP ALL THE REPEATS /  THEY ARE STOPPING VIEWERS FROM TUNING IN TO SKYPOKER T.V 

2. REPLACE REPEATS WITH THE SHOWING OF MORE LOW LEVEL STAKE GAMES NO COMMENTARY NEEDED ,

HENCE THIS WILL ENCOURAGE GUYS/GALS TO TELL THEIR MATES TUNE IN TO SKYPOKER T.V

AND WATCH THEM ON T.V .

3. HAVE A T.V SCHEDULE IN OPEN WEBSITE PAGE SO GUYS/GALS WILL KNOW WHAT LEVEL

GAME EACH HOUR OF THE DAY WILL BE SHOWN ON T.V,

BY DOING THIS THEY CAN SHOW THEIR MATES THEIR BLUFFS /BADBEATS   CASHES /WINS .

4. TRY MOVE THE CHANNEL CLOSER TO SPORTS CHANNEL IF POSSIBLE .

5. MAKE THE CHANNEL A FREEVIEW ONE  IF POSSIBLE .




AS IDEAS COME IN I WILL POST THE EASY CHEAP OPTIONS ONES UP .

TOPLESS FEMALE PRESENTERS A GOOD IDEA BUT THINK OF THE HEATING BILL !














 irishraver just showed me a email skypoker research team have sent her .

 with very in depth  questions mostly about the t.v shows ,

 i fear for some of  our good mates,

 the sky poker annalists and presenters,

 so if anyone has ideas,

 in how to generate more traffic for this t.v channel.

 post it up here you never know,

 it may be the idea to generate more traffic for skypoker

 and the tv shows.

 sometimes the silly ideas are the best ones so don't be shy !

    I reckon if it's SKY poker, they need to get off channel 865 and as near to the sports channels as possible.  I've just looked and channel 407 is free on sky.  That would get loads more traffic to the site from casual users of sky tv.

    Just show games throughout the night, like they do on 166, or used to....

    You can run hours n hours of micro stakes sit n goes, the 30p dyms etc - the 30p bounty hunters, these guys never get on tv.

    Show constant cash games - the mastercash tables, run every hand throughout the night with an hour delay.

    If people object to their hands being shown constantly - then they wont play the tv tables. 

    The guys who play low stakes for fun, rather than mid/high for profit would love this im sure.

    No commentary needed - if theres a repeat on, i wont watch sky poker. If there ANYTHING on I havent seen before, especially after midnight and through the day on weekdays - ill watch it.

    If there are no MC tables running thru the night, show action from through the day.

    It cant be very expensive to show a table running no stop with no commentary? - Can it?

    some good ideas there doh,

    to  elaborate on one of them :

     select a group level and if one had a daily showing schedule,

    example :  1.00 pm  micro stake cash/mtt/ s&g

                     3.00 pm  low stake  cash/mtt/s&g

                     and so on ,
                  
                     as you say no commentary fills it in cheaply .

    this may generate more frequent viewing for skypoker tv,

    hence may have a knock on affect to  make viewing live shows  more popular .

     i do feel the constant repeating of shows is turning away punters and viewers !

    Yes, sky definitely seem to have gone for quality, rather than quantity. And quite rightly so I'm sure 99% of members would prefer it this way.......

    But.....

    Is it not possible to have both?  :)

    It is against the law to use internet poker sites in the USA, i know the big sites have got around this by making them all canadians or something, you used to get little USA flags at the side of the players names but now its row upon row of blank flags, however sky seem to be whiter that white so dont 'do' America

    Id watch the channel all the time, but with virgin now so cant, Ive got the full sky sports package and reallythink this could be includedin that.  Watching iton the pc just isnt the same and it slows my tables down

    Yeah, I got that survey too.

    I said they need to improve the actual software first and foremost.  None of this struggling to get on a table and the computer freezing if you multi-table, can't be that difficult to copy the market leaders with the resources Sky have.  They make a mint, the amount they are expanding.  Know it wasn't the subject of the survey but took the opportunity to mention it.

    The tv shows are great but they've really been cut back on from how they used to be and the constant repeats annoy me totally.

    Why don't they just listen to the ideas that float round here more?

    Hi Rover

    As I understand it, Sky Poker are in the process of setting on extra presenter(s), I would have thought imo that the presenters are safe and may even suggest something is in the pipeline, this is course just an observation :)
