    Sky has a cheek with their EPG charges, and the Regulator for claiming it's reasonable. It's about 99% profit margin and since 92% of what Sky Subscription viewer watch is the FTA channels, it's logical actually that the cost should remain as it is, but REVERSED. Yes Sky SHOULD pay BBC, C4, ITV, C5, RTE, TG4 and TV3. They are parasites.

    I hope the BBC carry out this proposal.
    Sky have had it their own way for far too long, about time they paid up for getting quality content to go along with the multitude of crap pay channels they offer to their long suffering subscribers.

    remember the vast majority of people who have sky only watch rte and bbc and don't need to pay anything for them. I have a freesat+ box, planner, recording etc and its free. (bar initial equipment purchase)
