[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 13397, member: 174998"] The legislation supposedly guaranteeing free movement of goods and services across member countries has been in place for years but it hasn't stopped virtually every satellite provider riding roughshod over it with respect to subscriptions, proprietary encryption systems and draconian restrictions on the sale of certain receivers. Rupert Bear has been the worst offender, along with those other champions of the free market and customer service, Anal+ So why not tackle those issues, rather then the trivial issue of dishes? Most consumers across Europe are already free to purchase and erect a dish. That's hardly a priority. Fact is, teh European commissions have already climbed down on, for example, their insistance that NDS licence videoguard for CI-CAMs. Now THAT would have been much more significant. Or alternatively they could break the virtual monopoly that Murdoch and others hold by virtue of their controlling both content and delivery. Perhaps then we, the consumer, would be able to choose our reception equipment to meet our own needs rather than the vested interests of the providers. 2old [/QUOTE]
