theyre encrypted so $ly can get you on their fta package, i suppose their thinking "right, we've got 'em with the fta, odds are they'll add a few extras on" and they call me shady

yeh i just thought it was strange if you have a freeview box you get channel 5 and sky sports news i thought you had to provide channel 5 as its a terrestrial channel so to speak

i can understand sky sports news a bit its ran by sky and i suppose its up to them
