Even though Sky had put Picnic on the back burner.
Ofcom has now given the green light to Picnic,though conditional.

Dead in the water, picnic bars are to eaten, Skys picnic is toxic and a media spoiler, like a spoiled child they walk out/

The site (conditional)should ashamed to publish this propaganda, I was banned having asked questions about its funding streams, a few home truths were not welcome, 90% of its Sat forum threads are Sky biased.

Sky picnic dead in the water, My opinion.

Reading the report, OFCOM my insist that Sky use Nagra similcrypt for Picnic, this would make their channels less secure and would attract the hackers
