So anyone wanting to watch TV who for some reason can't get freeview (and I live in a residential area I'm not some rural farmer in the middle of nowhere) has to pay through their noses to get freeview from sky. £150 and you get less channels than normal Freeview as in no Dave, no E4 among others.
I'm not sure how it works for multiple TV's but I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pay £150 per box!
