Film Four free or not?

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.

By the way your signiture is rather long, does this not breach Usernet
rules?

No, yours does, by 3 (blank) lines.

The rule is up to 4 lines of up to 72 characters.

No, I am referring to the (2 in that message) blank lines at the end
of your .sig. Maybe that is just OE screwing things up, which it
excels at.

aye, but the advert is only clear at certain points, for the rest of
the time it makes it look like it's free now.

On my old netscape there's quite a gap under your sig, but personally,
unless the sig is offensive, I couldn't give a damn :O)
