Yet to be approved, but Sky are planning on changing their channels on freeview.
"Sky Three, Sky News and Sky Sports News will disappear from Freeview to make way."

"Content including live Premiership football and other big sporting events will be available on the new service, along with movies, news and entertainment."

I'm not sure if this means Sky Sports 1 will be on freeview or not?  I wouldn't mind sacraficing SSN for SS1 to be honest.

Alot of people will not be happy with that.

However if Soccer Saturday remained (through SS1) then I'm sure that'll ease the pain somewhat!

I doubt it will be SkySports 1 though.

The four channels on the new service will offer a range of shows for a monthly subscription from this summer.

From the bbc, so it wont be freeview any more, fucking paymore, fuck that shit.  Surely they will have to change the name, yes i know you can get extra channels any way!

Seem fair enough. I know it is petty, but I have always thought it a bloody cheek for Sky to charge me to watch SSN a via my Sky subscription whilst freeview people got it, erm, for free.

They will basically charge money to receive a few channels (streams) through your aerial. So no more free sky on freeview
