Technical changes made also indicate that Sony movies could also be joining Freesat. If/when this happens, this will be the last major Freeview channel to join Freesat and makes the basic packages of Sky and VM look pretty worthless.

In response Sky have created the Entertainment Pack (more expensive with more channels); I wonder if VM will do something similar with the M/Player packs?

Talking Pictures hopes to be adding subtitles in March.
