    I suggest you look at the respective channel websites for any announcements of launch on the Freeview platform.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Don't think so. Are on Freesat and Freesat from Sky, not on Freeview.

    Yes they are I sometimes look to see whats on
    However at the moment they are only available from the Winter Hill transmitter so not all the country can get them at the moment
    In May 2011, the following channels became available in the Manchester area
    • Channel M (Freeview Channel 200)
    • Movies4Men (Freeview Channel 201)
    • Movies4Men +1, (Freeview Channel 202)
    • Movies4Men 2, (Freeview Channel 203)
    • Movies4Men 2 +1 (Freeview Channel 204)
    • Men & Movies (Freeview Channel 205)
    The Manchester channels are using a multiplex operated by Guardian Media Group, and at the time of writing, the channels are only available on the Freeview platform from via the Winter Hill transmitter
    It's not just about the money
