In Response to Re: Some Criticism and Suggestions for the Channel and Formats : Thank you for your reply Tikay. I appreciate that Sky Poker is trying to attract new players to the site and it does this by trying to show them the basics and showing their name on the show. I think this would still be possible with TV tables on cash and sng's so why not show a bit of everything?. I know my opinion probably doesn't count for much especially as I choose to play on a different site. I would like to start playing on sky poker though but I am holding out for download version at the moment. The reason is I use tracking software which I believe is not available to use on sky's current software. Other things I feel are important such as hand replayers are also missing from the site. I will continue to watch the show and check the forum out in the hope that these changes are made soon. I would appeal to sky that although attracting new players to the site is important they should not forget that their are millions of people playing at other sites who they could attract if a few changes to the site were to be made. A downloadable version, a hand replayer and better graphics would be a perfect start. Keeping my fingers crossed for changes, Salazar Posted by salazar
I'll try & reply to that tomorrow, as there are so many questions in there, & it appears to have got confused between The CardRoom & the TV Channel. I'm pretty busy today, in the Studio most of the day, so bear with me please.
I have posted elsewhere, and I re-alise the production probs now ( thanks tk) but cant the bods behind the scenes pull out different repeats (and a personal bug) please by all means use the strip at the bottom of the screen to advertise up coming programmes but I have reccommended all my friends I know about poker points and play as often as my meagre bankroll allows purely for fun I have no illusions about being the new "jesus" etc I along with the majority of players I suspect are here for entertainment not a way of life
As an aside, the TV Channel - & I'm hypothesising here - could run 7 nights a week if the Cardroom did not spend an arm & a leg on Freerolls, & other Promos. Or, viewed another way, it could spend a lot more on Promos & stuff if it did not have to pay for the TV Channel - it all comes out of the same pocket. Getting my drift, there?......

But the thing is, it did when it first started. I've watched ever since the beginning and there used to be a lot more live stuff, every night with more studio guests and analysts.
Over time, the live events and Vegas trips have increased and the TV coverage has been slimmed down to bare essentials and then to fewer and fewer shows.
Yes, it's the same pocket that all the items come out of but for those of us who watch the shows and haven't been able to attend the live events, then it's becoming rather sparse in terms of output.
And I saw you said you need to increase the player base, well, get the site supported by HEM and you will get the serious players and regs from other sites come and join in.
I'm one of a few of my friends who came by 865 by chance (it's NEVER advertised...even on sky sports!!) when we got Sky+ installed and all of us started playing via the tv LONG before we went to the website...and more recently forum!!! Without 865 I would probably be playing on some $ site....so from my end T.V. Works!!!
Excellent thread, V. Intersting...again found it by chance when someone posted but well worth the read & comments
Would have REALLY liked TKO on tele today (might have been a good way to advertise the show too?) but understand issues re funding
In Response to Re: Some Criticism and Suggestions for the Channel and Formats : I can't help there Digger, it's up to those on high. I'm just OCD & obsessive about decent manners & good Customer Care. So when a question is asked, even if it's outwith my remit, if nobody else answers it, I feel I have to. There is no excuse for ignoring our Clients. There is no excuse for being an Orforder, either. What WERE you thinking? Is the JCB3B still the biz? Posted by Tikay10
Tikay, you are a true gent and that is why we love you!

Excuse my ignorance but HEM?

Michelle left to replace Kara on the EPT shows as host. I don't know about the others but have asked on other threads.
