MPs frozen out of super-secret copyright talks

Well don't just talk about it

I have sent a letter to my MP, do the same, they don't read the Register. Maybe if enough people write maybe then they'll see how angry we are and maybe they might actually do something sensible for once. But they won't know if you don't tell them

Danger, I have no wish to encounter the same issues as Florida's recent election fiasco or just like Zimbabwe. The old method was fabulous because it was auditable by anyone.

Sky is 'silly' to whine about HD for All

Bitter?

Sounds a bit like sour grapes, the BBC and regular broadcasting will sort HD out when it's ready, I object to having my License money pissed away to pay for a couple of channels in fancy HD which are essentially showing the same programmes as on the regular channels just for someone who has bought a shiny tellybox. If you can afford the HD TV then get the HD premium service, but it is silly to expect everyone else who can't afford it to foot the bill for a few more pixels.
