Lucky I have Sky then, I guess.

[*History* 8]

Lucky I have the Internet, with a decent connection.

That's about £70 a month saved

Just cancelled my sky subscription for freeview. Annoying.

What a fucking joke!!!

Whats the point in soccer saturday with jef then?

If it's only on sky sports then fans can watch their own teams games anyway, unless a particular game is on espn.

The whole point in that show was to rival the BBC's coverage of the results.

[BRMC 12]

Sounds like a mistake imo, most people on the internet are gutted about it. I`ve no idea if ill be losing it on virgin but i hope not i couldnt imagine my day without it.

It's Sky trying to make more money out of anything, and its fucking ridculous!!

I watched it now and then throughout the day when nothing is on other channels. I hope they see sense sooner then later and tetract this bullshit one and for all.

SSN will realise they've put a foot wrong in the marketing trade when their millions of views rate plummets, and they'll have no choice but to consider returning it to freeview.

It's been there for 8 years, and people who want to know what's going on will have to fish for more earnings out of their pockets, it's just ludicrous.

[We Hate Scouse 10,287]

They get something stupid like 2 million views a day - Don't fix what isn't broken!

Rupert Murdoch won't give a shit how many people watch on freeview. He realises he'll make more money on the people who actually pay for the service directly.

Welcome to Murdoch's world.
