Channel 4 asking for public money for encrypted service
 

Channel 4 is asking for public money because they fear audience loss with the
switch over to digital transmissions. - As reported in today's Daily Telegraph

Perhaps, like the BBC, they should stop encrypting their satellite transmissions
so that only people with Sky boxes can receive them.

Even better would be for the government to insist on this. Why as a taxpayer
should I contribute towards the cost of a service where there is no a free
market in the reception equipment?
