Sky to launch a pay-TV digital terrestrial service

Brekkie Boy posted:


And if people are willing to spend that much they might as well opt for Sky Digital itself.


But are there are still are good many people who won't or can't put a satellite dish on the side of their house/flat.

By doing this, Sky will be able to offer selected premium content to these people.

This will also help Sky in their wars with the anti Sky pressure groups.

I love Blanche. Can you believe she is 89 in real life?!!


Well, she did play Mark McManus' grandmother in 'Sam' in the early seventies, and he'd be 71 if he was still alive.

Sky to launch a pay-TV digital terrestrial service

I thought that Sky News was going to be one of the four channels on Sky's DTT platfrom. It just wasn't going to be free anymore.

Sky to launch a pay-TV digital terrestrial service

Very shrewd and good move by Sky.

All those people moaning that because they haven't got/can't have/don't want a satellite dish, they can't watch for e.g Lost, 24, Ryder Cup, US Golf Open, England Cricket Test Matches and One Day Internationals, will now not have an excuse.

So with satellite, cable and DTT there should be 100% reach for the above programmes.

As Martin does amateur dramatics as a hobby, perhaps he wants a day job again to keep his evenings free?

I haven't seen an example yet, but how do they do plural initials in upper case? E.g. does MPs become MPS?

I notice Tim Marshall is sitting in for Jeremy Vine on Radio 2 today. Good gig for a reasonably unknown journalist?


I was having a debate with someone today about whether it was that Tim Marshall. Can anyone confirm?


It is. Have a listen on the Radio 2 website, where you can replay today's show.
