The Freeview vs Sky content debate

a) Because you keep telling me off for doing it.

b) Please learn to relax a little and take a light-hearted post as it was intended

They are free once you have bought the neccesary equipment

I don’t mind paying for any equipment I might need. I do mind paying for the licence but it’s the law, so I have to.

As you say, free-to-air programmes are then free once I’ve bought the equipment. So I object to paying Murdoch a monthly subscription for a load of programmes I don’t want and won't watch just so I can watch one which I do want and which is supposed to be free.

Party Girls was on Freeview.

Sky viewers moaned like hell because it was stronger than Babestation was at the time.

Now Babestation is stronger than previously, presumably because it was beefed up after Party girls was such a success thanks to us Freeviewers.

Are you really surprised that we now feel aggrieved at being fed a crappy imitation of something that wouldn’t exist without our support for Party Girls?

i agree it should be get bs off freeview but get bs sky show on freeview

Freeview should give Babestation back to Sky and get the live test match cricket back, that Sky stole off terrestial tv a few years ago. I've never forgiven Sky for that.

No point complaining about it mate, like others have said get sky.

Freeview is crap,no surprises there. It's doesn't cost much to get a skybox, if you have the internet I'm sure you can afford one.

better still watch the streams there free

I've said this before, but I don't mind making the point again. Babestation is crap - whether on freeview or $ky! It might be the richest of the fta babeshows, but it's also one of the tamest, so stop worrying. You freeviewers are missing nothing.

babestation crap let me see how wrong you are
1) obviously camilla yep haven't see a poor performance from her yet
2) amanda again well worth the watch
3) the baby oil if you talking about babestation on a whole

so mate how is babestation rubbish i can think of other tripe channel you sky viewers get that not even us freeviewers would want so i'll stick to babestation thank you very much

Well here's three reasons for a start:

1: They suck up to Ofcunt like no other channel and never so much as approach anything even nearly rude
2: Have far too many girls that like to make out they're filth, when in fact they would never dream of doing anything ruder than getting their tits out. Donna springs immediately to mind
3: They have girls like Dani O'Neal who think it's perfectly acceptable to simply lie on their belly facing the camera for nineteen solid hours

hmm nope i am not buying your arguement mate you go and watch some other tripe of a show i hear big brother is currently on and there's i'm a celeb usa and don't forget 40+ and 50+ babes if you would rather watch all that crap over babestation then i pity you

lol 19 hours? its only on for 8 and the girls only get 4 half hour shifts a night give or take.......

plus cellcast are sensible, they're bigger than most the other channels and better to play it safe than get fined for breachin regs, perfect business sense since they're blatently making money hand over fist (literally). if they start losing money by playing safe, they might then be riskier. its a business simple as.
