Sky is to make some of its most popular programmes, movies and sports available on digital terrestrial television. Good move?

After reading that it appears that they are taking away two of my favourite channels! bastards!
I used to have sky TV but they decided to charge me an extra £25/month because 'my' box wouldn't perform a call back. They sent an engineer out (which I had to pay £60 for) to come and say, "yep, everything's fine" The next three months I kept getting £25 charges so I cancelled. I only watched SoccerAM, the footy & Sky News anyway.

Big deal. They are obsessed with getting people to pay in spite of the adverts they'll still flood those channels with. I for one won't miss watching 24 two years behind, I can buy the box set and the same applies to Lost if I can rekindle my interest. We have Waking The Dead in answer to Cold Case, which was the only other Sky exclusive I might miss - for once the UK counterpart is as good and, for not drowning you in period music, often better.

[EDIT] and we've all managed to comment without stating the obvious, that if Sky still wants its blood money, the name Freeview doesn't apply.
