there was a tv show on sky one last year about an alien probe that came to earth and used some sort of transmission to alter people.
the probe frst infected a boat full of sailors, and a government agency was set up to find the sailors before they could infect anyone else.
one of the things i remember about the seris is tht infected people dreamt of a crystal forrest with somthing alien lurking in it
please help i cant remembe the name of the seris and its really bugging me
the show was on sky one, and came out around the same time as the first seris of the 4400

I think the show you're thinking about is Threshold.
Please see attached info from this website http://www.cbs.com/primetime/threshold/about/
THRESHOLD is a suspenseful drama about a team of experts who are assembled when the U.S. Navy makes a chilling discovery: an extra terrestrial craft has landed in the mid-Atlantic ocean. Dr. Molly Anne Caffrey (Carla Gugino) is a government contingency analyst whose job is to devise response plans for worst-case scenarios. In a single instant, her life changes when one of those plans--THRESHOLD--is activated by Deputy National Security Advisor J.T. Baylock (Charles S. Dutton). Armed only with her hypothetical strategy to address the appearance of aliens on earth, Caffrey now finds herself thrust in the midst of a global crisis. She hand-picks a team of eclectic specialists to prepare for first contact: Dr. Nigel Fenway (Brent Spiner), a disillusioned NASA microbiologist; Lucas Pegg (Rob Benedict), a brilliant but neurotic physicist; Arthur Ramsey (Peter Dinklage), an expert in languages and mathematics; and Cavennaugh (Brian Van Holt), a highly trained covert operative with a mysterious past. Together, they decipher the intention of the craft, the fate of the ship's crew and begin preparations for the possibility of a crisis situation--an alien invasion.

The show was called Threshhold.
My personal opinion was that it was five different kinds of Lame, and was quickly removed from television schedules in the US.
It is now slumming on the Sci Fi channel, showing after good stuff like Dr. Who and Battlestar Galactica on most Friday nights.

I thought you were talking about the 4400 at first or Invasion. But I'm clueless now.......are you sure you didn't dream it? Maybe Sky One has a website you can search.

Yeah I remember it, there was like some ball of light or something and it was an alien.
I'm like you though, I can't remember the name of it !!!.
One of the sailors got away from the boat with the researchers and attacked them and stuff, they had to shoot him loads of times.
I remember the show but I can't remember what it was called.
