[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 16566, member: 175209"] No. It's FREE TO AIR on Freeview. But on Sky It's FREE TO VIEW. That means it is encrypted, but anyone with a valid UK address and UK television licence can get a "free to view" card to decode it, free of charge. This is all to do with rights issues, to stop it being watched outside the UK. All UK subscription cards also include them free. They are not (officcially) available in the RIO, but of course many people in the ROI have friends / relatives in the UK who sent them a free to view card. [/QUOTE]
