I have (as an uninterested person) followed a bit of this stuff on 'satellite forums' - and I have concluded that it is not really 'Sky' (or even Sky Italia) who made 'the decision'. More culpable is the BBC. Anyway, if you are in Italy and desperate for UK TV, basta get a proxy server (which 'pretends' your computer is in the UK). A very reliable, solid, offering is available at www.iportal.me for £5 per month (or £50 per year). This gives you perfect access to BBC iplayer, and 4OD (plus ITV and C5, though those don't stream so well - their fault, not iportal's fault). Try it out - it works, and delivers so much more than Sky Italia ever did.
