Virgin Media Dispute
On Thursday 1 March 2007, Virgin Media removed Sky's basic channels, including Sky1, Sky2, Sky News, Sky Sports News, Sky Travel and Sky Travel Extra, from their television services after a dispute between Virgin Media and BSkyB caused by the expiry of their carriage agreement and their inability to reach a new deal. At midnight, Sky Two was removed, and the name of the station in the electronic programming guide was changed to "Old Sky Two Try Living" on the analogue cable service. On 13 November 2008, Sky2 along with Sky1, Sky News and Sky Sports News were returned to Virgin Media's television service along with four more Sky channels: Sky Arts 1, Sky Arts 2, Sky Real Lives and Sky Real Lives 2.

“Truly, My Satan, thou art but a Dunce,
And dost not know the Garment from the Man.

Nor can’st thou ever change Kate into Nan.”

“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“The king said, -Divide the living boy in two; then give half to the one, and half to the other. But the woman whose son was alive said to the king -because compassion for her son burned within her - -Please, my lord, give her the living boy; certainly do not kill him! The other said, -It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. Then the king responded: -Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother.”
—Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings. 3:25-37.
