Dont actually like the sound this one bit.

May got it wrong but the way I read BEEB would not be on Sky or Virgin to watch them you would have to switch to freeview box then muck about by going back to digital box either sky or virgin depending.

Its more of lazyness but cant even remember touch the freeview side and the worry is for HD owners would be forced to buy HD freeview just for BEEB HD. Those got sky HD or Virgin + but standard freeview biggest losers. Hasten to add beeb would lose out more than gain as viewing figures on there HD platform dries up.

Hense more money for consumer but hell BEEB saves money doubt the savings would get reverted in improved content but bosses wallets.
