Sky Freeview

[-G-Man-]

Is it true that Sky are bringing out a freeview-style box that will have sky one and E4 on it for a one off price? ive heard rumours and i dont wanna go out and get a freeview box for the bedroom now if i can wait till next year and get a half decent Sky one.

Anybody else heard anything bout it??:nowords:

As Sky prepares to launch a new digital satellite TV and radio service with no monthly subscription, here a run down of what it will offer.

Sky free-to-air satellite
Price
£150 one-off payment with no monthly subscription fee. But this will only be available from Sky, not high street stores, and the price is unlikely to come down.

Services
116 TV channels and 81 radio stations. TV options include the BBC's eight digital channels plus ITV1, Channel 4, Five and Sky News. Other free channels include QVC, Fashion TV, Chart Show TV and the God Channel.

But it will not include premium services such as Sky Movies and Sky Sports, Sky One, E4 and MTV. Viewers will have to take out a Sky subscription.

Equipment
A satellite dish, receiver, viewing card and installation by a Sky engineer are included in the price.

Reception
97% of the UK, according to Ofcom.

so... it wont include E4 or Sky One...

so opinions on the line up :tongue
looks pretty crappy to me lol.
still not bad for a one of payment aye. :nono

[-G-Man-]

Just wondering, but did anything ever come of this??

[whatnow]

yes it's been launched ages ago,

http://www.freesatfromsky.com/

it was hard to find this though

[iBozz]

Weren't the Beeb going to offer something similar this Spring?

I just know that someone will humiliate me by posting an obvious link but I can't find out anything about it. I have an idea that it was to have been called Freesat, but that seems to just find SKY references.

Is it perhaps a joint venture rather than a rival service - or am I just being thick?

[hxbro]

freesat from the bbc is just the same as freesat from sky in terms of channels will just be marketed differently. There's a rumour of bbc specifying an epg and middleware but at the moment not much is known
