Just noticed this the other day when I was searching through the channels.
I normally skip past Film4 on Channel 31 as it was a subscription only service. NOW IT IS FREE!

Perhaps this information will be useful to other equally unobservant people like me.

    Film Four has some decent offerings. Hopefully it won't go too mainstream now it's free.

    I'm suprised you didn't see a single advert highlighting the fact it's now free, they've been running on most major channels for weeks!

    I think I have not noticed this before as I get the WHAT'S ON TV programmes guide (only 40p) and funnily enough, under their freeview listings, film4 is not listed, so I never knew it was available.
