The new service will allow customers to receive some of Sky's most popular programming, including live Premiership football and Holllywood films.
BSkyB's new DTT pay-TV offering will use compression technology to squeeze four services out of the spectrum currently used by its three Freeview channels - Sky Three, Sky News and Sky Sports News.
Customers will pay a monthly subscription to get the service through a conventional rooftop aerial and a digital TV box.
To access the service, customers will have to buy a new set-top box that includes the relevant conditional access software and MPEG4 decoder - suggesting it will not be available via existing Freeview DTT receivers.
