[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 139515, member: 176256"] From what I've read the Beeb and ITV are trying to get a viable equivalent to the terrestrial Freeview going. It would probably stay on 28E as they are both already there. There are supposedly talks going on with box manufacturers to try to produce a suitable (cheap!) STB (set top box). I don't know whether there would be all the interactivity that you can get through a digibox but I'm sure that some could be engineered in that doesn't require $ly software. The biggest problem I can see is that C4 and Five won't and can't be part of any free to air transmissions as they both still have a couple of years or so left to run with their contracts with $ly. This contract appears to be the reason why the new More 4 channel had to be encrypted on 28E although I am unclear why it had to be part of the basic $ly package. [/QUOTE]
