FreeView overtakes Sky
Freeview has become the UK's most popular digital TV provider overtaking Sky.
Freeview says it now supplies TV services to 8.2 million homes in the UK - pipping Sky's 8 million - and up from 7.7m at the end of 2006. Sky aims to be in 10 million homes by 2010. A Sky spokesman said: "In the last quarter, more new customers joined us than at any time since the launch of Freeview." Cary Wakefield, Freeview's general manager, said: "Over the past four and a half years, Freeview has gone from zero to being the nation's favourite digitial TV provider." Including secondary TV sets within households, Freeview said it is active in more than 11 million homes across the UK. (Digital Spy)

Re: FreeView overtakes Sky

Re: FreeView overtakes Sky
Hardly suprising when you consider the cost of a freeview box and the cost of a sly subscription.
