Microsoft Eyes UK Digital TV Provider

This would enable them to get a large share of the British TV market, as the British Government has decided that all TVs will have to switch over to digital by 2010."

  1. Actually I think it'd be great - No more football by Moderation+abuser · · Score: 3, Troll

    Just think, a world without all the dull dull dull football matches on TV. The more football clubs going bust, the better.

    In fact. it'd be good if Sky bought all the football matches forever then we wouldn't have to have it on every channel every saturday.
