THE COST OF FREESAT.

So much smoke and mirrors is being spread about the upcoming new Freesat from the BBC/ITV by certain priviliged position forums the new Freesat joint venture is already being mauled even before it is in the public domain.
One website was asked by the BBC for their opinion before the start of the planned venture and we satellite enthusiasts now know it was like asking the fox to look after the chickens as the fox is only interested in one provider and it is not Freesat from the BBC/ITV.
