[QUOTE="mruane, post: 207230, member: 21044"] Unfortunately Bleazle, writing SKY will not help either. They care less about you than the PM does!!! From SKY's perspective - you are not the customer, you are the product. Their customers are the advertisers. So, the only way to deal with this, is to get the advertisers to only be interested in advertising on a digital platform that is available to everyone and not just SKY "products" i.e. us. When SKY realise that, they will unencrypt Prime on their SAT transponders then we can watch it also - or move it the the Freeview transponders. Frankly all they need to do is transmit it unencrypted. Considering its supposed to be FTA - I do not know why its encrypted at all. Sad fact but true.
