I'm gutted about it as well Call but I'm not going to bow to Sky and pay extra money for it. I'll just continue to download the episodes of the net and buy the box set when it comes out later in the year.

i feel sorry for your poor ears,my sister works at the airport and she had the same problem when they had the high alert last year,working with the public is hard work when things are going wrong and your on the firing line,you should get a bonus for getting all the earache

that is what I hated about working with the Public.. they think it is all your fault, like you are personally to blame if things go wrong even though it is totally out of your hands.. some people just want someone to scream and shout at...

I was not happy to discover this as I tuned in saturday night having missed last weeks episode. What am I going to do with no Jack Bauer? what winds me up is its all about money and greed and the people that lose from this the most....the viewer. Its just ridicolous, and my sound has gone on the pc so I cant even download it, guess Im gonna have to buy the boxset. One unhappy 24 fan.

well johnny i'm in the same situation,luckily for me my brothers on sky and he taped sat and sundays episodes,see if one of your mates can tape it for you,otherwise you have the right idea we are just being blackmailed by sky into changing to them,the only thing is its lower than the low cutting us of mid series,if they knew this was gonna happen and i'm sure they did we should have been cut off before the new series started,i like you am not happy
