Ahh, I see. That's certainly quite a different situation from the U.S., where local channels I can receive for free over the air cost extra to receive via satellite. An amusing question is whether anything analogous to FTV/FTA will ever happen in the U.S. I imagine that mainstream cable channels like ESPN or Comedy Central would probably still make scads of money on advertising, even if they got absolutely no fees whatsoever from the cable/satellite firms.
