Freesat website
 
I see the $ky Freesat website is up and running
(http://www.freesatfromsky.com).

Does anyone know if they ever plan to make ITV2 or ITV3 FTV?

They are Free To View, i.e. encrypted and you need a $ky box and a $ky
card.

What I want is ITV1 Ch4 and Ch5 FTA, Free to Air, unencrypted like the Beeb
Channels

Always thought it was going to be exactly the same as the non-subscription
free channels they have already, what a con, Sky are just trying to make
more money by saying it is a new service when it is clearly not, so many
people are going to be conned into paying £150 when they could sign up for
the free installation offers Sky have on, subscribe for 12 months and change
the package to a lower package and have better channels for the same price
as the £150 or less. The onlt thing I want to know if the EPG going to be
different?

I don't think you'll find that ITV2 is Free to View.

ITV1 is FTV and ITV3 is FTA, but ITV2 extraordinarily seems to be available
with a Sky subscription package only. This appears inconsistent, but let's
see how things develop in future.

Look at it another way. At least you can now buy a 'Solus' type
viewing card for £20.

Also, in a lot of cases £150 will work out cheaper than the Freeview
option.

If you told a joke and someone died laughing, would any jury ever find you guilty of a mans laughter?

Very well hidden, typical of $ky.

Now making that into a four line sig may be difficult :-(

It really depends if you can get good Freeview reception.
If not the extra Beeb channels are IMO well worth GBP 20.
