Not too concerned whether a small percentage of Europeans watch our TV channels for free, as we are similarly able to watch many European channels without encryption. The truth of the matter is that I have little interest in watching their terrestrial channels and I would guess that the average French, German or Italian viewer would feel similarly about ITV or BBC.

The only thing that encryption fosters, is a healthy business for those dealing in the Free To View cards and receivers and the sooner Channel 4 joins the BBC and ITV the better in my opinion.

Reference the encryption of UK terrestrial transmissions, even if it were possible without putting back the digital changeover by a couple of years, I can't see it happening and would not want it to happen.
