Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone out there has both and can comment on picture quality difference between the two on the (just on channels 1, 2 and 3).

I currently have Sky but only watch the non-free channels a couple of times a week so if the free to air look a lot better then I may go for having both.

The FreeView feeds are distinctly superiour to skys streams, and the fact that the FreeView ones have rougly twice the bit rate would explain a lot.

However, I suspect at sometime in the future we will see Sky point their subs at the Freeview mux of those channels it has rights to rebroadcast, ie TV1,2,3,4 and MaoriTV, at which point all will get a better feed.
