Thank God! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/10346894.stmNow I don't have to put up with that [LIFTED] on the TV at work in the canteen. Every time I try and change it to normal news (or anything for that matter) it's only 2 minutes before some scrote puts Sky Sports News back on.

Yes it was a dull channel but then since I barely follow sports I can live with out it.  _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

Nooooo, they can't take it away! I'd never pay for it but for free it's handy.

Clearly a trend. How long before Sky News becomes pay only? Will anyone care?

Unlikely, probably another sodding auction channel! (BTW: does anyone actually watch those, I have them all disabled on my TV?)

No. waste of bandwidth, frankly. The story suggests it's to be replaced by Sky 3+1, i.e. a timeshifted copy of Sky 3. TBH I'd do away with all the '+1' channels on Freeview too - they again take up bandwidth that could be used for more useful programming. If you can't be arsed to watch a show when it's on (or record it on a PVR), that's your problem.

There's never anything on Sky 3 (live), never mind repeated it an hour later!
It's about time Freeview got a complete overhaul IMHO and get rid of all these shopping channels and the like.
BTW: Anyone else noticed that Virgin 1+1 has now been disabled on Freeview in the last week or so.
Just says "Virgin 1+1 is no longer available" - I wonder if that's going to be replaced with anything good?

I wouldn't miss Sky News (I'd happily see it destroyed as part of the Murdoch empire), but it does get some good 'breaking news' and the occassional mad Yank or crime story _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:
