gustov:

 

 It was suggested to me that TV3 will be the next to withdraw from the Freeview service and like TVNZ, manage their own on-demand service.

 

I've got real money bet that TV3 will not only leave the Freeview on-demand, they will leave terrestrial broadcast freeview as well,   

- There is simply no way to justify having towers in major cities to broadcast from. (the regions have already only got a choice of Satellite or streaming- the urban centres will be next) 

It might push the networks to go HD on satellite, but I'm not holding out hope...
