    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.
    does anyone know if it'll be free on telewest/cable??? I bet its flippin' not!!
    The atmosphere is currently filled with hypocrisy so thick that it could be sliced, wrapped, and sold in supermarkets for a decent price and labeled, 'Wholegrain Left-Wing, Middle-Class, Politically-Correct Organic Hypocrisy'.

    I'm fairly sure it will. But don't forget that you can get an extra saving by ditching sky! :D
