    I've had a look through the latest sky mag, and cant find this anywhere ?? And then I thought - isn't it a bit weird that they are advertising free freeview boxes in a SKY magazine for people who more than likely have sky anyway ?? :D LOL, nevertheless I really hope they come !

    Another thing for all those worried that they have subscribed or think they will only get the Television X channel on the freeview set is to remember that.........Television X is not available on Freeview anyway!

    Or has this changed lol

    Yup, it's definitely on freeview, but you have to pay to view it. :rotfl:

    No need to be so cynical :rolleyes: Television X is a subscription channel, they are giving these away because the channel shows up in your freeview EPG but you can't watch it, they are just providing a selection of people with the hardware required to entice you in to subscribing. These box's probably only cost a few £ each and they are giving away only 1000 of them, when you consider Wilkinson Sword have been giving away 200,000 razors, that equates to sooo much more £ than this giveaway. If your one of the first 1000 callers then great :j but I don't think there is any cause for concern about any ulterior motives in this offer such as stinging you with a subscription :o

    Trust me ... it is ... Channel 97.

    I do have Freeview, and I can read the screen! The information you have is wrong.
