[QUOTE="the_happy_traveller, post: 347691, member: 199037"] After reading the recent thread regarding the Virgin Media/Sky debarcle and many of the threads slagging off Sky, Freeview and cable, something has begun to puzzle me. How come FTA satellite systems are not more actively marketed in the UK? On the continent, you can walk into any electrical retailer and have a choice of FTA sat systems available off the shelf. A lot of the stores actively promote the sale of these systems through all available media (TV, newspaper ads, in store etc.) Here in the UK, we have to seek out a specialist retailer or wait until the likes of Lidl and Aldi have their special promotions. The ONLY actively advertised FTA sat system is Sky's "Freesat" Has Mr Murdoch really brainwashed so many people into thinking the only way to receive satellite TV in the UK is by having Sky installed. Sorry about the rant, but I feel much better now I've got that off my chest.:toke: [/QUOTE]
