Stuart: As I recall the court took the view that it was OK for Sky to recoup the costs of the "free dish and box offer" by making EPG charges to broadcasters.
I don't think that Rapture TV had any funds left to contest the matter further.
Sky is a very unique company in that it charges BOTH the suppliers and customers for the services.
Sky have also used the "free box and dish offer" to turn most of their profits into losses over the last decade or so, which means they have had to pay very little tax indeed.
Probably why you don't see much of UK Uncut on Sky News.

NottsUK: Yes, I saw that, I just meant that actual dates when services move tend not to get much announcement.

Phil Martin: Sorry, but the answer is "no". The UKTV channels are part of the Sky subscription system on satellite. You can watch them online using the links in the panel in the right hand column.

Paul: There seems to have been "Reduced Quality" events going on that would effect reception. It would seem these have now ended.

glenn: There are several ways that 5.1 audio is encoded, and various broadcasters use different systems at different times.
The best thing to do to resolve your problem is to turn OFF anything that says "Dolby digital" audio and use the "stereo" option.
If you don't actually have 5.1 speakers, then different parts of the sound will disappear, in particular the "dialogue speaker" audio.

L Forbes: You should be able to get all the Freeview channels from 1st November 2011, if you can hang on until then.

U: To answer your question, C21Media: says
"In countries such as France, Germany and Spain, [cable and satellite] platforms pay terrestrial networks to retransmit their feeds."
