He's got a point though vila. If I wasn't blowing all my money on beer and tabs I'd be able to afford to move to a house where I was allowed to have a dish.

Sorry, mate - he's got no point at all.
Maybe you could buy a house if you gave up booze and cigs (you must buy hellish expensive examples of both) but thousands of others can't, no matter what they give up. Besides, [sigh] it isn't always a question if being 'allowed' to have have a dish. I own my own place, but it wouldn't do me any good to put up a dish 'cos I don't have a clear line of sight to the satellites - there's a fucking great stand of trees in the way. And there are plenty of other things that prevent people having sat systems - do a search, it's all on here somewhere.
Oh, and I don't drink much and have never smoked in my life.
Anyway, why should Freeviewers spend money on a sat system when they already have a system which is perfectly capable of receiving the channels? All we want is for FV to get the same standard of content that Sky gets. And don't let's have any more argument about whether it is or isn't 'cos 'babestation' has already admitted that it isn't and the 'no nudity before midnight' rule on FV proves it for all to see.

YES nudity on Sky well before midnight OK;BUT Freeview only after midnight if at all! UNFAIR!

I don't drink, don't smoke, but, I'm on the dole!
When (not if) I get a job I'll get my own place and have Sky. By then though all my faves will have retired! Just make the most of what you have while you still have it. The only way we'd get everything we want would be if Lolly was at Number 10!

The plain and simple fact is that Sky and freeview are both free to view platforms and no subscription is required to view either , with subscription options available if required , and the only difference being one uses a aerial and the other a dish and Sky box , costs for purchasing both platforms from scratch are about the same Skyfreesat costs around £150.0 fitted , and a new freeview set top box and good quality digital aerial and new cabling can cost around the same price if fitted professionally , so freeviewer should expect the same content from the babe channels has Sky viewer get . As for Sky viewers having better jobs and more money , i know loads of people who have Sky and have never done a days work in their lives , and also freeviewers who are rolling in money .(15-07-2010 15:32 )vila Wrote: as has been pointed out MANY times previously, thousands of viewers (actually, probably hundreds of thousands) have NO choice, Freeview being their only option.

The other thing is that, with Sky, even with package deals, you have to wade through channel after channel of bollocks just to get to what you do want. I know that from when my brother had it.
At least with freeview it is possible to find something to watch when someone you don't want to see is on, without straying too far from that end of the EPG.

I know that from when my brother had it.You are right there , the Sky TV EPG starts at channel 101 (BBC1) and finishes at 999 (Sky preview channel) it's a nightmare trying to remember what channel broadcasts from what channel number , although it is possible to set your most viewed channels up as a favorite channel , you just select the blue favorites button of your Sky remote press it and select you favorite channel press ok and then view it . Also i have heard that come the full digital switch over when all analog tv and radio signals are switched off for ever there will be space available for 900+ channels on the freeview platform the same as Sky , so hopefully OFCOM permitting all the Sky babe channels with also be allowed to transmit on freeview because the freeview air time will become much cheaper due to the fact that much more channel space will be available .

You only need read one of their Bulletins to figure that!
OFCOM barely understand their own rules & regulations, never mind the law!

Make of that what you will.
Of course these lackey organisations will officially say they're independent... The previous Government wouldn't have wanted people thinking they're secretly a dictatorship, would they?
Only time will tell whether the new Government will be any different...

This is a bit o/t, but 'babestation' has admitted that the Freeview show is tamed (not that he/she/they needed to - the difference is plain enough). This is allegedly because Cellcast believe it to be necessary in order to 'protect Babestation's presence' on Freeview, but 'babestation' refused to explain why they believe that purpose is served by taming the content.
