Moved as this has nothing to do with Dreamboxes.

I don't think it will affect Freesat-from-Sky (FSFS) at all as they keep this running as a "spoiler" to the real Freesat. They also hope that it might tempt some people into subscribing to Sky in the future.

Incidentally ITV 2, 3 & 4 in HD are not part of the FSFS package. You have to subscribe to Sky for these.

Then you are very lucky.

ITV signed to Sky for disribution of their HD verisons of ITV 2, 3 & 4 in order to make money. AFAIK most FSFS cards do not get the HD versions.

No you are wrong. ITV 2 3 & HD are all in the HD pay pack - they are most definbitely NOT fta or ftv..

I subscribe to a fairly basic package and until I took up the HD subscription I didn't get them, so they certainly aren't available with a FTV card.

Your post doesnt make much sense

However trying to answer your points

C4HD & C5 HD are ftv so if you have an active sub you will get it.

This is the current set up of the ITV UK channels

ITV1 HD is fta and ftv - (there are three or four versions currently available)
ITV2 HD is pay
ITV3 HD is pay
ITV4 HD is pay.

There are no fta or ftv versions of ITV2 HD / ITV3 HD / ITV4 HD


KoS agrees with me :D

Yes, which is what Analoguesat says in the list you have quoted in your post, it is both Free To Air and Free To View (encrypted for Freesat from Sky cards).

It sounds like you may have been made a special offer by Sky to tempt you into subscribing.

This seems to confirm that you are on some kind of subscription.

so i dont know nothing right now mine card dont have 22 tieirs like mostly subscribed cards but just 8.


Anyway lets back again to mine question will it be closed or not? i am reminding that nowhere freesat besides BskyB exists in Sky Germany , Sky italy freesat deosnt exsit[ it was small short period when on deactivated card was working RAI 1-3 MTV La7 ] now only 2-3 fta channels only

not a mention News copr with quiet way is preparing to capture Digiturk and who know maybe he wana create Sky turkey.

If BskyB doe's go for turkey with a group of pay channels then there is nothing to stop them from doing sky france, sky spain and sky poland.

I believe the EU has competition rules as well, so I'm sure that a line would be drawn in the sand.
