    Hi
    This is what you get on the freeview channels at the moment, but I belive there's some more coming out soon, I think film4 is one of them.

    If you have a freeview box with a card slot, you can subscribe for extra channels for £7.99mth.

    Hope this helps
  • thank you much appreciated i think i will switch , i phoned ntl and they can not really help if my daughter wants nickleodean its the family pack nothing else , so is nickleodean worth £30.00 i think not , only problem i can t get ick on any other services either except maybe sky but then its the bother of sky dishes installing ect and whats the point in half price for 3 months then back to full price , might look good at first glance . cheers greg.

    Hi
    I use to be on Sky, I was paying £25 a month, for really 3 programs, Sky1, E4 and Cbeebies, so I went and bought my Topfield 5800, twin tuner, 160gb hd, and now I pay nothing and the kids still get Cbeebies and I still get E4.
    These freeview boxes are brilliant, you can watch one channel, and record another 2, reception and quality excellent, on mine you can even plug it into your pc and burn your films to dvd if you want.
    And no MORE subscription to Sky.

    Happy hunting :)
