Sky channels might stay on Freeview beyond the summer
Just a quick tip - despite what the Virgin statements say there is no guarantee that the Sky channels will be taken off Freeview in the summer. Sky will actually have to get permission to do this (and they don't have it), so although they clearly want to remove them, it may well not happen.
Therefore if you want Sky news , Sky 3 and sky sports news then Freeview might be an option.

They need ofcom approval to offer the new service. They could still remove them.
I really can not see ofcom giving them permission to go ahead though. Every set top box and digital TV would need changing to the MPEG4 system. This close to switch over...
