Tess17 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I have just heard on 5Live that Freeview are going to offer a top-up service to all those who have freeview cards. We are going to be able to purchase extra channels such as UKGold, Discovery, Boomerang and others for a suggested price of 7.50 a month. No sport or films included.Regards,Tess.

Martin963 Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I think that you are confusing Freeview (the UHF terrestrial digital TV service, confined to the UK by technical factors) with free-to-view cards which are used to view ITV etc via Sky satellite digiboxes.The package you refer to will only be available via a UHF aerial in the UK. ie NOT via satellite.It'll be interesting to see how this new subscription service goes though, given that at first only the old ONDIGITAL receivers will be able to decode the signals (with the appropriate card) and also given that an awful lot of "Freeview" receivers have been sold, which as their name suggests contain no unscrambling technology (thought to be SECA 2 for this new service) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
