| 790863 | 2009-07-11 09:40:00 | Yip speedy a sign of the times uhf was a rip off and still is now you either have a dish or no sky at all. Sky now has only 25,000 uhf subscribers i wonder how many sky tried to encourage to switch to satellite. |

| 790864 | 2009-07-11 10:02:00 | they have been encouraging them to shift over ever since since sat started ;) a little surprised they still hung on to UHF for this long. however while they held the licence it did effectively shutout any opposition. with them dropping UHF we may get a lot more smaller players starting up. |

| 790865 | 2009-07-11 10:05:00 | Dont think so sky are going to sell the uhf frequencies back to the govt to use for extra bandwidth for other things. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 790866 | 2009-07-12 02:27:00 | The little players might not be able to afford to start up unless they get a handout from the govt. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 790867 | 2009-07-12 04:48:00 | It wasn't a ripoff. It was free for people in the know :D | ubergeek85 (131) | ||
| 790868 | 2009-07-12 05:56:00 | It wasn't a ripoff. It was free for people in the know :D especially after the horse / dog racing :D |

| 790869 | 2009-07-12 06:15:00 | From the article in the first post: Sky plans to hand its UHF and radio spectrum back to the Government and trade them for digital terrestrial bandwidth. Does this mean we'll maybe get Prime on Freeview :banana:banana:thumbs: |

| 790870 | 2009-07-12 06:37:00 | Does this mean we'll maybe get Prime on Freeview :banana:banana:thumbs: One would hope so :dogeye:. Wouldn't Sky be wanting to exchange DVB-T bandwidth for DVB-S? :confused: |
