Market share counts for a lot

Got Sky?

Considering switching to Freeview?

Sky will give you 200 channels for a one-off £20 fee. (£150 if you don't have a dish and box already.)

The channel selection basically amounts to Freeview plus a bunch of public access, special interest and home shopping channels - all the dross that you never wanted to begin with. Oh, and Sky 1/2/3/News. Whether or that's a factor in your decision-making process, it's still cheaper than Freeview...

ETA: Oh, not Sky 1 or Sky 2. Just 3 and News.

Still.

You see, I'm very much of the belief that eventually, everything I WILL want to watch will come to Freeview. There is some evidence to back this up - I've already gained More 4 and Film 4 since June.

The channel range expands all the time, and a cheap ass box is only around £30.

£30 for freeview? That's so six months ago! You can get a box for under £20 in Asda now, and you're not lining Murdoch's pockets by doing so ('cause, y'know, WalMart is a much less evil international conglomerate than News Corp).
