    Some channels are only available if you pay for 'top up tv' bust there are still loads of free ones, I wouldn't say most are blank or encrypted

    FILM4+1 just started. I know it'd only film4 an hour later but its better than the crud it replaced.

    Five US and Five Living are the newest additions.

    However, don't be surprised if Film4 + 1 gets pulled. Channel 4 said something "exciting" was being planned, as the previous channel was Quiz Call

    Nowall freeview needs to do is get rid of all those shopping channels and it might well be OK
  • I hope not more of these damn "quiz" channels, they're a total waste of the airwaves. Before we used to get late night tv shows and movies, now all we get are this load of rip off rubbish phone ins. I hope someone does something about it soon, it's getting silly. :(
