I suspect he meant pornographic content is general. So banning freeview porn channels won't really stop kids seeing it.

Any kid with a Sky box in their bedroom probably also has a smartphone or laptop. So if this is a crusade to protect youngsters it's pointless.

BSkyB to cut BBC transmission charges by more than £5m a year

Quote:
BBC local radio services facing controversial cuts have found an unlikely saviour – BSkyB. The satellite broadcaster is reducing what it charges the BBC to transmit its TV channels and radio stations by more than £5m a year, with the corporation planning to use the windfall to reduce the local radio cuts.

BSkyB charges TV and radio broadcasters annual fees to carry their channels and stations on its satellite service with ITV, Channel 4, the BBC and Channel 5 currently paying about £24m a year.

Sky has said that it will slash those costs by over 50% by 2014 – from £24.4m to £11m for the main broadcasters – a combined saving of more than £16m.

My SkyHD box lists that category as HD&3D for some reason but it's just listed as HD on the other 2..... Strange.
A week after the planner rebuild and I've still not got a single movie on Anytime. :(

Has everyone else got this weeks new movies on their box? I was looking forward to Senna being downloaded.

True, I'm hoping that it will be sorted once Anytime+ has been opened up. :)

Did you watch the F1 2012 preview last night? Very slick presentation. Sky really do know how to provide world class sports coverage. :D

I also noticed the new F1 app shown during the intro, can't wait to get my hands on that!

iPlayer deal saves BBC Sky platform costs

Quote:
The amount paid by the BBC towards its carriage on the Sky DTH platform is to be reduced by up to 30% following its agreement to add iPlayer content to Sky Anytime+, Broadband TV News can reveal.

A new clause in BSkyB’s Published Price List reduces the amount paid by a public service broadcaster when one of its channels is contributing long form programming over broadband, on demand, to Sky DTH set-top boxes.

The BBC has been campaigning for a reduction in the £10 million (€11.4 million) paid for the distribution of its TV and radio content on Sky.

The move will reduce the amount paid by the corporation in Platform Contribution Charges for BBC One from BBC1 £4,319,830 per annum to £3,171,460, while charges for the BBC News channel will fall from £646,260 to £491,970 when the new charges come into effect on July 1, 2012.

ITV, Channel 4 and Five would also be eligible for the scheme, though to date the BBC and ITV are the two public service broadcasters that have committed to make on demand content available over Sky Anytime+.

ITV currently pays £3,747,925 for its main channel ITV1, a figure that will now fall to £2,751,720 from July.

Sky is in the process of opening up its five million Sky+ HD boxes to receive on demand content to all subscribers, regardless of the ISP selected by subscribers. It is anticipated the process will take place around Easter, though the BBC iPlayer is not expected to launch until later in the year.

Contribution charges, which include conditional access, and regionalization costs are calculated on a per subscriber basis.
