It's the distribution amplifiers that are the problem. In large
systems you use one per TV channel rather than trying to amplify the
whole band, so in some systems there will only be amplifiers for the
analogue channels and you won't be able to get the digital multiplexes
at all.

Anyway, the premise that Sky TV is a luxury item is flawed. It's
always been targeted as being affordable to low income groups. It's a
fraction of the cost of a monthly bus pass for one person, for
instance.
