Are you fed up because of the stranglehold the $ky digital monopoly has over satellite TV in the British Isles ?
Are you fed up because you cant get RTE/TV3/TG4 in the UK (even NI) on a digibox (and even in the Republic without a $ky subscription) ?
Are you fed up because you cant get UTV/Channel 4/Five etc in the Republic and have to pay higher subs than UK residents for an inferior level of service.
Are you fed up with all the faffing about over the FTV card issue and that you have to pay £23 for a card that costs less than £12 to produce and administer
Are you fed up because you cannot recieve either Irish OR UK channels on a digibox outside the British Isles despite the fact that the EU promises us "television without frontiers" ?
Are you fed up with the way $ky abues its monopoly to restrict the choice of equipment on the market to a small number of functionally crippled overpriced digiboxes and makes reception of non-$ky services difficult if not impossible ?
Are you just fed up ?
If so you now have the chance to do something about it
A bloke called George Kildare Miley has complained to the EU parliament about $ky restrictive practices and has got himself a hearing before The European Parliament Committee on Petitions http://www.europarl.eu.int/committees/peti_home.htm on 27 November.
This is an excellent work on his part but we all need to contact the committe members to show that there is public support for the measure
