Whats the chances of Virgin 1 becoming free to view on sky freesat .

It seems a bit silly that you can watch V1 on freeview (after 6pm) but 
the channel is encrypted on sky freesat .

Yeah sure no doubt its contract thingy - but its still a silly situation 
that you can watch a channel on one platform but not another .

Sky will probably be discounting the encryption fees for Virgin, in 
return for it being on a subscription package. If it was only FTV, Sky 
would charge more.

No more stupid than the ch 4 and 5 stuff that does much the same. Its all 
becoming a shambles in my view. The net effect is that finding anything on 
anywhere is a job in itself, and maybe it will all end in  people having to 
talk to each other like in the old days!

Its not so much the different platform - its the fact i would like to 
watch the odd episode of the x-files in the afternoons .

Tis a pity they dont repeat the x-files about 11pm or summit as their 
must be plenty of freeview viewers who would watch it .
