    Hi, I don't know whether this is in the correct place, so please could you move it if it isn't.

    Anyway just incase there are some people who don't know that you can now get the Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney free when you subscribe to the other childrens channels. So if you are paying extra for the disney channels then you don't need to now.

    Hope that helps

    The other two disney channels have now discontinued broadcast. 64&65 on ntl anyway, now replaced by 'free' 63 & 66.
  • I said it was just the Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney. The other two are Disney movie channels.

    Hi. Hope this is in the right section.

    I'm on Sky TV (cheapest package) and at the moment have The Disney Channel (613) and Playhouse Disney (614) displaying for free at the moment.

    I appreciate that this will only be for a few days; but I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Watch it while you can......

    Good day.
    Reassuringly expensive

    Well what Sky tell me contradicts all this. I emailed them saying I am paying £5 per month extra for the Disney channels and that I presume my DD will be reduced to take account of most of the channels now being free and their response was:
    Thank you for your email concerning the Disney Channels on Sky.

    The Disney Channel is available as the following options:

    · A stand-alone channel at a cost of 5.00 (GBP) per month with any package option.
    · Included when you subscribe to both Movies Mix 1 and Movies Mix 2 starting at 34.00 (GBP) per month.

    I trust that this information is useful to you. Should you require any further assistance, please contact me at the above email address.

    It's interesting they class it as "The Disney Channel" when I specifically asked about the suite of Disney channels.

    I have emailed back for more clarification and will post back when I hear. I don't think it's at all clear and you'd think that they would contact existing Disney subscribers to tell them of the change or at least have information on their website.
  • Just to clarify. Yes, the Disney Channel and PlayHouse Disney Channel have moved from being included "free" when you had the movie channels, and have been replace in that respect by the Disney Cinemagic channel instead - ie. now that one's "free" when you subscribe to movies. If you don't want sky movies, then you have to pay (about £5) for the Disney CineMagic channel(s) instead.

    The original pair of Disney Channels (Disney and PlayHouse) are now included in the basic sky packages instead - but YOU DO HAVE TO PAY FOR THESE!

    If you have no subscription to Sky, or are on FreeSat, then there are no Disney Channels at all available to watch - I've checked.

    Hope that clears it up - so, there's nothing FREE here.
