beermatWant to save money by cancelling the Sky+ subscription. Seems the BBC & ITV are changing their Free To View thingies, with the BBC having switched to FTA (Free To Air, no card at all needed) with ITV C4 & 5 still FTV but needing to have a subscription on Sky - existing Free To View cards get canned sometime soon (apparently, [LogoFreeTV] has lots of good info)
And we can't get Freeview (digital terrestrial broadcasting received via a rooftop aerial rather than via a satellite) here either, according to their [postcode checker].
So, no DSL, no cable, expensive satellite.
Brilliant.
My cunning plan to convert everyone into R4 FM listeners (**1) seems to be coming along nicely.
"Wave at the nice digital world passing us by..."
**1 : oh, and we're in a shitehole for DAB reception as well.
