Thread: Time to write to Foxtel again

When it comes to DIY it seems to me people would rather watch shows with weirdos making things look pretty on a budget (and doing it in a manner that it looks tacky) than watching a show where you actually get shown how they actually make\fix something.

The first DIY shows actually showed a project from start to finish with all the little details. now they just show before and after. I refuse to watch them.

I really hope Woodworks stays on air or I'll be really upset.

I love the NYWS with all the jig’s, tools and machinery it’s enough to make a grown man drool who needs ! And what can you say about that norm nothing other than he’s a damn fine cabinetmaker. They’re still showing this old house right? That a good view as well, I’m really into some of the new building techniques coming out of the states.
No worries they might show more of what not to wear! I hate that show so badly, why are they doing this to us!

Don't mind the English show but have noticed the dropping of shows I used to like.
Whatever happened to The Naked News??????????

After writing in dismay to the LifeStyle Channel, this was their response.


Dear Andrew,

Thank you for writing to The LifeStyle Channel.

Unfortunately we do not have any immediate plans to buy the new series of "The New Yankee Workshop". I have however included the link to their web site:

http://www.newyankee.com/index.shtml

Thank you for your interest and I hope you continue to enjoy watching The LifeStyle Channel.


What's left to watch on the LifeStyle Channel??? :mad:

I guess I should at least give them credit for responding to me quickly.

Perhaps if enough of us bombard the programming manager via LifeStyle Channel feedback site we may see Norm return to Australian screens, at least in the form of re-runs.

Done!
Maybe we should also picket their offices - we could turn up in plaid shirts and wave pitchforks and burning torches.....

Done, but I'd rather not have them bring back whatever series was just running. We've seen that one 5 times over now

Andrew,
at least you can still see Justin and Colin (the 2 nice boys, and I quote the foxtel schedule "two of television's hottest decorators willing to duke it out it in the name of distinctive design") on Sundays on how to decorate the house.
Regards
Les

This is why i decided not to put foxtel on when i moved into the new house. Their ongoing ability to take your money, charge you for a paper record of your bill then make the difference between them and free to air even less, so why pay the money ?

Andrew

Done this is what I sent!
(It seems that more and more of the Lifestyle channel is geared towards female viewers, not that women shouldn’t have shows for inspiration, but men also need their Lifestyles to be expressed as a source of inspiration to tackle all the in jobs our women feel passionate about! (The flower box, the walk in pantry and spots new house).
Sure Changing rooms is great, but the New Yankee Workshop is a show that affect men, just as much as women are by What not to wear! It would be much appreciated by all men who take great interest in the lifestyle channels shows on craftsmanship, building and renovation, if the New Yankee Workshop is continued.
Thank you for taking time to read my concerns.)

done. Iam getting sick of them showing re runs and taking our money for all these pretty girly and guy presenters.!!!!!!!!!!!#@@@@@@

So you are telling them you enjoy watching a show where they make bookshelves out of painted MDF, and where they try to convince viewers that it is cool to paint the walls of a room in alternating shades of orange and purple? Ah well, there is no accounting for tastes ...

Rocker

Done, we are now down to just david marks

I hope they bring NYW back, there not much else on foxtel worth paying for.

Joe

I have just sent an email to Deathstyle channel voicing my displeasure with their programming incompetance........perhaps if we all took up the cudgels and aired our displeasure,would the programming/bean counters listen?????????Regards ...AL
