Sky - Are the dishes going?

http://news.zdnet.co.uk/communications/broadband/0,39020342,39229735,00.htm

It looks like Sky are starting that big move from satellite to broadband..
Well, maybe a little while yet..

But the Sky dialup boxes will go shortly, replaced by a broadband Sky box.

    I wouldnt worry, broadband through your tv is a few years away. You would need a few mb's adsl up and down to have a good tv service. Maybe on its way when adsl2 comes out.
    Kind Regards

  • Don't see why you would need any more than a few kilobytes up (to send channel changes etc..), even on interactive services, large downstream is all you'll need, with 24mbit round the corner it would be possible for even HDTV to travel your lines.
