Sky Three FTV
 

Sky Three is currently FTV.

If this lasts then coupled with ITV's move to FTA this is quite a
sea-change in UK sat broadcasting.

It's more likely that as they have just taken over the previously unencrypted
Men & Motors channel that they simply haven't got around to encrypting it yet.

Isn't that ITV4, rather than Sky3?

Doubt it, Men & Motors is nothing to do with Sky, and it's FTA anyway.


Sky 3 was always going to be FTV, they announced it ages ago.

I never thought I'd see the day when £ky broadcast a channel (Sky News
aside) FTV.

Absolutely correct. I must have had a fleeting moment of madness the-)

Indeed, but why "Sky News aside"? Sky News is not FTV. It is unencrypted
(FTA) and always has been; never part of any of Sky's pay-TV packages.


You Pedant! ;-)

You know what I mean.

Insifficient pedantry here! Sky New has *ALWAYS* been part of Sky's pay-TV
packages (like now it is part of the "News and Events" mix) - it is just
"available without a viewing card"
I had always assumed that doing it this way allowed them to give Sky News
some of the subscription income!

If something can make money SKY will embrace it:)

SKY want to make money from Freeview hence SKY3 and it'll
probably do very well, by making it FTV they also make sure every
digibox user can access it as well as making it unlikely to appear
on the BBC/ITV freesat system.

I wonder if SKY can see some advantage in encouraging a few more channels
to go FTV, perhaps those that are on Freeview but still in a PAY package.
E4 and More4 excluded, they are too strong to be bought off:)

Sky 3, Seachange ?

Yeah, things now starting to "hot up", suddenly there's much more
genuine choice on Freeview, Sky are starting to drop prices (some, a
bit!), should get interesting ....... !
