I still joke about Nicam stereo being free when it launched, but the reality was similar to HD.
If FTA channels can provide HD free - then why not the rest? And why are carriers such as Sky and VM getting away with charging to access them??
Down with this sort of thing...!  |
100% agree. some of the things $ky do in business are pretty bad but the whole charging for a HD version of a channel you already get is absolutely disgusting. HD has been out for years now. Will this charge remain forever? Will we forever have to pay tons more just purely for a clearer picture?? $ky literally try to squeeze everything they can out of people and the govt allows this.
