the bidding is in!

[digital baby]

Hey peeps! The BBC in co-operation with ITV is planning a new FTA service this includes 24 channels (i dont know if that number includes the standard 1-5) and 3 b$kyb channels (FTA??) I also know that Channel 4 have placed a bid, although as yet i cant find out what type of service they will be offering. Just thought that those of us who havent abandoned the DTT service might be interested! have fun

Any idea what the sky influence might be - I have heard it will all be FTA, and that's very un-sky!!
