.and all of this neatly coincides with the BBC getting their free view satellite service under way

Over here in Northern Ireland, its only the people in places like Belfast that can get cable, and freeview, the rest of us have no choice other than to have sky for any sort of decent picture until the change over in 2012.

Although we can use the "freesat" option with sky, its still £150 for the equipment and their "basic" install (they throw the cable over your roof and drill a hole in the wall) unless you buy your own dish and box from a local installer (that works out almost as expensive) then its £20 for the viewing card.

I look forward to the BBC getting it off the ground as the more choice we have, the less chance of that greedy NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- murdock has of ripping people off
