The only difference between crap and art, is that art has brass name plates below it

They could, if someone would broadcast them. There's nothing
intrisically non-updatable in old ONd boxes. (IME of Nokia and Philips,
anyway)

Yep, I'd probably pay but where will the channels go? I can't see it ever
happening unless loads of channels get junked or an extra couple of mux's
get added to the current 6.

DAB sounds worse than Freeview, digital satellite, cable, broadband
internet and FM

Suely, if they decide to go the pay-tv route, then aren't Freeview breaking
their licence as the consortium was granted a licence to the frequencies
because they were setting up a FREE service? If people are unhappy with the
prospect of pay-tv services, they should lobby the freeview consortium for
mis-selling the service

"Freeview" do not provide all the DTT channels in the UK (whatever the
misleading BBC advertising campaign says).

They do provide a lot of the channels, but two of the multiplexes are
operated by other companies. So long as the content on the freeview
multiplexes remains free, they are not breaking the conditions of
their licence.

As far as I know, the owners of the other two multiplexes (muxes "2"
and "A") are not obliged to provide a free service (as they do at the
moment - supplying us with free crap like QVC and bid-upTV). But ITV1,
C4 and Five are currently broadcast free on these muxes and I don't
think they'll be allowed to go encrypted.
