Rumors been around for a while, but it seems they have confirmed it. Film 4 will be free on Sky and Freeview from July.
"The new FilmFour channel will typically screen six films a day between the transmission hours of 3pm and 3am. The station pledges to offer a "broader range of films than any other UK channel", screening classic films in the day, Hollywood fare and US/UK independent cinema in peak and foreign language and cult at night. Advert breaks during films will also be introduced for the first time."
Details
Only downside is the Advert breaks.

There's more:
"“Our plans to launch FilmFour On Demand, available on broadband platforms, will enhance viewer choice further and complement the free-to-air offering. FilmFour has always been about great films you know and great films you don’t – now all those great films will be absolutely free.”"0 -
I would never pay for Film four but having it free is good

From page 5 of todays Daily Mail:
FilmFour goes free to viewers.
Channel 4's movie channel FilmFour will be made free to more than 18 million homes.
From July ... will change from a subscription channel to a free-to-air service.
The move means viewers in homes with digital television - including those with Sky,Cable or Freeview - can watch it.
(Don't forget, a thank you is free!)"If a man says something, but there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong?"0 -
Cool ~ as everyone else says, I wouldn't pay for a subscription service but I never turn down anything for free “I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”
