So long as you already have a means of output (a TV, for instance) and a DTT
decoder, then yes, if you can get the signal at all.

It's nearly free - you still have to pay the BBC tax.

It's true, you can now watch all the old films the other channels gave
up showing years ago for free :-)

The sad thing is that apart from watching Milla in the Fifth Element
there is nothing I want to watch. Film 4 seem to equate heavy, deep &
depressing with good. When all most of us want is a bit of hedonistic
escapism on a Friday night. Strange because C4 has got the idea :-)

Oh FFS - how many adverts, posters, flyers etc. do you need to convince you!


Yes, it is almost like the guy on the train who sees at least 5 signs
saying the train is for Letchworth, then hears 10 announcements that the
train is for Letchworth, and still has to annoy the passengers asking
where the sodding train is going :-)

No you don't.

Film4 is free independently of the BBC.

I think he means you have to pay a licence fee to the BBC to operate a
TV set whether or not you watch BBC. For details see

Oh, you mean a relatively unenforceable law that relies on the cooperation
of the payer.

You know full well it is free!

But totally pointless IMO until they start showing films in the correct
aspect ratio. Free or not, there's no way I'm watching cropped films.

Yes indeedy. The Guardian film and TV critics speak highly
of film4.

However, real film fans avoid it as they crop 2.35:1 films to fit a 16:9
screen.

And they break the films up with adverts too. My memory may be playing
tricks but I thought that when Film 4 started they made a fuss out of the
fact that they were a specialist film channel that respected their product
sufficiently to show it without any butchery. Now they're just the same as
any other TV channel with the exception of the single fact that they only
show one kind of programme.

I guess they need adverts to pay for the channel, but they can't be forgiven
for cropping.
