Virgin and Sky should work together against this - either stand up against ITV and pull the plug, or if ITV are certain about the value of their content then make it a premium channel so customers can choose to subscribe if they wish - that way anyone who also has freeview can choose how they prefer to receive the channel.

Why should pay TV customers subsidise ITV, a PSB channel, when its available on Freeview? It ends up being a levy on pay TV.
