Sorry for the awful parsing of that text.

Yes - the only decent thing you get extra is Discovery +1, on the other hand, Freeview gives you E4+1 and Film 4+1

I guess you have to factor in additional aerial costs (we would certainly need a new aerial here cost around £120 I think), and even then Freeview isn't fully available in this area.
