In Response to Re: Your ideas for the Sky Poker TV channel.... : Hi Topboy, I cannot answer for Sky Poker, though I'd asume that the issue of free access to non Sky Subscribers is outwith Sky Poker's control. But Free Acesss IS available - the Channel is Streamed on the Internet, just go to www.skypoker.com , & click "WATCH SKY POKER TV". Have a good weekend. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks for the response it is appreciated even if it only showed me another option, its nice too think that we are being heard. I used to use the largest bookmaker in the UK's poker site and post to there forum,until they didnt like what they heard and subsequently removed there forums!!

lol topboy ......now that has made me laugh !!!! .Oh dear nothing to do with a certain race horse was it , robbin bar stewards!!
Regarding new programmes- In a recently aired interview with James Hartigan, Paul "Action" Jackson spoke about "The Poker Godfather" programme he used to do. If I heard correctly he said he would love to do this again and even offers to give his fee to charity. Please take him up on his offer as this was a great programme which would offer entertainment and a terrific learning opportunity from one of the best players in the country.

What about the chat box for the table showing on tv been on view so we can enjoy the good natured banter in the sky poker community if the game was played and by you could edit any moron with bad lingo
how about having a 8 seat tourney and have it every 4 weeks
you could start off with a deep stack then following month could be bounty hunter
i reckon it would be great fun to watch and would be competion between the presenters and where possible get the 8 into the studio and do it as a live 8 seater
the format i was thinking of was
the winner of the league final goes through each week = 4
the presenter with most points of that week goes through = 4
you could call it
THE MONTHLY ALLSTARS EVENT or have a competition to name it

ok since posting this i have started a thread on general chat with a poll called HOUSE CHAMPION after some feedback i have fully addressed all the issues at present
How about putting the channel on 'Freeview'? Im sure this would attract many more players to the site, got to be more attractive than playing roulette than on those channels there sems to be quite a few of.
Obviously I dont know the cost to sky of doing this or even whether it is possible, would hate to see commercials on channell 865 though.
wOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU FOLLOW A SINGLE PLAYER (ON TV) FOR A NUMBER OF HANDS BUT ONLY SEEING WHAT THE PLAYER SEES- HIS/HER CARDS PLUS THE COMMUNITY CARDS. WOULD BE QUITE INTERESTING TO HEAR AN ANALYSIS AND MAYBE SUBSEQUENT REVELATION OF THE OTHER HANDS. MIGHT PUT YOU ON THE SPOT BUT YOU WOULD HAVE THE SATISFACTION OF KNOWING THAT YOU'D EARNT YOUR MONEY. phlwbb
I usually enjoy watching channel 865 when they are covering tournaments like the Saturday night Open.
However, last night (8th Aug) I thought the chit-chat surrounding the photo of 2 male presenters supposedly kissing each other was juvenile and crude.
I watch the channel in the hope of having my hands featured. As it was, we hardly saw any hands because the presenters were so pre-occupied with the stupid caption competition.
In the end I made 9th in the tournament, and would have liked to see some of the 2nd final table. As it was all I got was embarassing innuendo about the sexuality of the Sky staff.
By all means make the chatter light-hearted, but please show more hands hands and lose the other stuff.
Anyone else see the show and have a similar opinion?
Can I make a small suggestion for the live shows, a number of times the presenters and experts comment that it makes it easier to call plays as they can see all the cards. If that is the case perhaps then with one or two hands a show they should be challenged to commentate on a hand where they can only see one players cards, obviously a player involved to the end of the hand, this should test the experts and maybe give us new guys a insight or two.
I would love it if they auto-messaged (e-mail too optional) all the people who's hands are shown on the channel (informing about repeats), whether it be on a live show, a hand request, etc. I don't think it would be too much hard work as they have the player list and the same message would be sent to them all. It'd just be a case of selecting the players.
The main thing which would make me play here more is because of the channel. I'd hate to miss a hand I played in, even if I folded 7-2. Or because I watched the show for the first hour I was in, but missed it when they did a time jump later on.
I don't think it would lower viewers, and even if it did a little I think it would be outweighed by people playing more.

This is in my opinion the best idea !!!!
Ive been to two EPT's via online poker satellite's //Barcelona (Spain) and Baden (Austria)
Both were fantastic trips and great poker memories, well when you get over the bad beats that is !!
SKY take note these are brilliant tournaments well worth the trip !!
