God channel as you know is FTA on various satelllites, including one of the Telecom sats at a rather obscure position.
Turns out that one can subscribe at that position to God Revival. The nice man will come to your (UK) house and fit a huge dish pointing at that location where there is virtually nothing else to watch, and charge you 16 GBP per month (as I recall) for that one channel.
You can then ask the nice man why it is that the almost-six million others with Sky digital installations can receive the same Revival channel from 28.2e at no charge whatsoever.
The answer is explained in a recent newsletter sent to Revival subscribers: yes, there is a free transmission on the Sky platform, but as good Christians it is their duty to spread The Word. Hence they must all continue to use the obscure location and pay the subscription fees, in order that sufficient funds be generated to support the free transmissions.
Er, is it just me, or is there something disturbingly cynical and insidious about this?
