cooperlola Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I notice from the advertising on Channel 4 that the above are now "Freeview" channels. However, my card which came with the Sky Digibox I have suggests I need an upgrade to receive these. I take it if I buy a freeview card in the UK and stick it in the box here it will not work? Anybody tried this or got these channels without paying Mr Murdoch for the privelege? Profuse apologies if this has been asked before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJSLIV Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Film 4 doesn't become free until Sunday 23 July, so I should try again then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 More4 and E4 are free-to-air channels, but sadly not free on Sky. Film 4 is advertised as going free-to-air on the 23rd, but as yet no-one is certain what this will mean for Sky viewers. Although it certainly looks and sound as though it will be free for Sky viewers, it may well not be, and channel 4 will (apparently) not answer emails on the subject.

Liz Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Has anyone found the frequencies to view these channels on free to air satellite? I have drawn a blank on the usual sites I look at for this sort of info. I could do a scan when they go live but it makes it a lot easier just to put in the numbers.Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clair Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 An update in case some people have not looked since:I can view Film4 and Film4+1 using my Sky box without any Sky card and also my "brico" decoder...They're on Channel 315 and 316 on Sky.
