gutted, first thing i do when i wake up is put ssn on the bedroom tv. I aint paying to watch it for 10 mins a day though.

Its still on sky and virgin media even with minimum tv sub.

Another +1 channel that is not what freeview needs

[goggles]

Freeview should be free. I would subscribe to Sky if I wanted to pay. I hope this is not the thin end of the wedge and other channels follow.

greedy bastards

I have the sky basic tv package and have paid £1 a month for news channels to get sky sports news. Thought this was the only way to get it with sky

[tombott]

I'm glad about this, it's just a shame more $ky shit will take it's place.
If I wanted $ky I'd pay for $ky.

Sky are a set off robbing Barstewards they are fighting the fact that they are being forced to sell sports for wholesale to other broadcasters, Sure I also read somewhere they have bought Virgins tv channels, Living etc. Shouldnt have let Murdoch buy out BSB way back as that was start now they are a monopoly and feel that they can do as they wish. about time the monopolie commission grew a set and played hard ball. Shows how much they care about the average punter.

If it was the opposite way about they would have been shouting about monopoly.

typical of money grabbing murdoch, doesn't really bother me as i have sky anyways but its the principal of the thing

I think freeview should be just 1 to 5 and ITN News, wtf do you want for free.

i think they should bring subs channels and PPV back the the Freeview world.... Would give us a reason to dust of the old loggers etc....
