uk sky

[thered]

just a quick one i have never bothered with sky since a got the old cable in.but i had a thought tonight and put the feed into my dreambox till i get my own dish sorted (its up just needs aligning properly)

anyways why is five encrypted and sky sports news these are supposed to be freeview arnt they

[shady77]

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

[.: JaCkPoT :.]

I think their the only channels freeview pay for as extras to broadcast with sky three too.
