Why don’t they just… Freeview
It surprises (more than surprises actually) me that ITVD have been practically giving stb’s away for folk to basically make off with to use illicitly !
Why have they not taken this to issue before now?
It is rumoured that new , better encryption etc will be introduced soon (at long last)!
But why oh why did they wait so long?
Why did they not just go the way of the pay as you go phone cards, which seems to appeal to so many people?
Instead of practically giving away hardware (& services) why didn’t they leave people to buy their own stb and just sell decently protected pay as you go cards?
These cards might last a month, or might alternatley provide a set viewing time of certain channels.
I admit, my interest in all this is new, and I would appologise in advance if these questions and suggestions are common.
Anyhow I am pleased they seem to be trying, if it is a little late in the day!
I’d be sad to see them go.
