Best way to good food/UK TV Food cheap?

Hi I hope I've posted this in the right place.

My question/problem is, I have a love for UKTV food/The Good food channel, as I find I can do my sewing or ironing without even noticing I'm doing it with cooking programmes on :D. But as far as I can see I can only get it on sky for £19.99 a month for free set up or on a freeview top up tv set top box which is £11.99 per month and £40.00 installation which is not very MS!:eek:

Now I'm wondering does anyone know if I can get this for free on the internet I-player thingies or cheaper anywhere else??

Thank you in advance for your help.

Much love

Missy x

    Hi missymoo,

    I've moved your thread over to the Digital TV board to see if you can get some replies.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Top Up TV connection charge is normally £20, not £40. You don't need to get a digibox if your TV already has a CAM slot.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    A digibox is a generic term for a digital TV receiver, there's nothing Sky-specific about it. That would include a Freeview box with a CAM slot, which what I was referring to, which would have done the job for Top Up TV, had the channel still been available via them.
