I must admit I thought it was launched a bit (several years?) earlier in the 80s than that. We used to visit my Nan's and aunt's houses in Milton Keynes and they had Sky in its infancy. I remember it having plenty of channels but not a large amount of content yet,so they kept having to repeat the same list of programmes (typically in the same order) several times a day! That became a source of amusement to me at the time.
@@rjjcms1 It was. Sky Channel went as far back as 1984 (or 1982 if you include SATV). But that was only on cable, or (unofficially) someone with a very large dish. This was the direct to home launch via the Astra satellite.
