Cable and Freeview- DTV which gives the viewer a real choice
What's wrong with being tied to Sky? It has all the channels I want, some of which are unavailable on cable. It has an interactive system that works now and doesn't cost you a penny for interactive content unless you want it to. Cable also has paid for interactive if you want it with more coming soon. As with everything in life you decide if the product gives you what you want and at a price you are prepared to pay. Sky also leaves you free to choose your telephone service, not forcing a possibly unwanted service on you the same as cable does.

I don't know what you have against Rupert Murdoch he is actually a nice guy, having met him on several occasions. He is one of the few men who helped break the unions stranglehold on the British press which gives you cheaper newspapers. He has done more than anyone to provide the choice of TV channels now available to the British public. What exactly do you think he has done wrong?
