Anyone know if FilmFour is going to be free on NTL?

It will be free on all the platforms that carry it.

OK, thanks!
(now why couldn't NTL just have said that...)


Try asking the owner and not the Monkey next time!


Sorry, not sure if I understand what you're saying:
I'm assuming you're implying that NTL is the monkey, and this group the
owner??
Certainly wouldn't dispute that... (or at least the fact the NTL seem to
employ monkeys on most of their CS outlets)

or did you mean somthing else entirely?

Cheers,

Chris.

why would this group be the owner? Surely it's Channel 4?

Not when the comments are unacceptable.

I am not the one who started all this BS, and you were the one that
injected the biggest shovel full into the argument.

Good point, didn't really think that through properly did I.
I wasn't thinking that this group owned Film4, just that I'm more likely to
get a sensible answer here than from NTL.
You're right though, the definitive answer is probably going to come from
Channel 4 themselves...

NTL are still the monkey though...(?)

I criticised no-one but gave the correct and clear answer without favour. If
anyone found that upsetting then the hurt is within themselves and not from
what I wrote. The response I got was unacceptable.

No, you gave a smug personal opinion and couldn't back it up with any
facts.

LOL! Why didn't I do this sooner? *plonk*

I gave no personal opinion. I simply referred to the official FAQ and standard
advice based on agreements, reached years ago, that have not been challenged
since. My total comment was:

Look at 4.3 in the second reference - but it may be a good idea to read the

Usenet was designed for reasonable people. It breaks down otherwise. ;-(

Adverts say it is free, Sky Digi box says I need a subscription but I
understand an ordinary FTA digi box will get it.
(Freeview box says it is to come.)
What is going on?

The advert is pretty clear, from the 23rd, it will be free. It isn't
the 23rd yet, so isn't free now.

Thanks Andrew.
Film Four is clear on 12480V SR27500 FEC2/3, even a Sky digibox will get
this but one as to Add Channel and use this, rather a messy way to opperate
a Sky box.

Hi David,

Does this mean there will be 2 Film Fours on Satellite, the encrypted
one in the EPG and the unencrypted one which you would have to add?

Also, having added it, how do you the "select" it?

(Say's he who failed to add it last night as he couldn't work out what
to do after entering the various numbers - have now found the answer -
Find Channels).
