UK's lags bemoan Freeview channel blackout

Dan Sheridan

Dodgy deal?

Sounds to me like a deal has been struck with a cable/satellite company to provide this fairly arbitrary set of channels rather than an OTA feed. If the prison service is making money off it, then of course they can't allow prisoners to access FTA television.

More to the point is prisoners who have paid for Freeview boxes no longer being able to use them. Seems a little unfair to me.
