While I appreciate cricket moving to Sky TV is not particularly positive for the armchair fan, Toby Chasseaud is slightly misled regarding the availability of Channel Five (Letters, December 19).

Aside from being available free to air on Freeview (via an aerial in this area), satellite and cable, it has been available to everybody free of charge via a normal analogue signal from the main Brighton (Whitehawk Hill mast, UHF CH 35 V) for some time now.

With so many outlets for Channel Five, I would think the vast majority of homes in the area can receive it rather than not.

I am not surprised, however, that many don't know about the availability of Five, since it has done nothing to publicise its availability.
