No, ITVi is Sky only.

C4's interactive is also on Freeview.
I am fairly certain Channel 4 have a limited Interactive service on NTL as well (a couple of games and not an awful lot else)

UKTV is half owned by the BBC, so I would be surprised if this were true.
Isn't the other half Flextech, who have something to do with Telewest? If that's the case, I would be surprised if they had an exclusive deal with Sky, as it would be less profitable for them to do so..

Edit: Just checked on Flextech.co.uk. Flextech IS the content division of Telewest Broadband, and they do own half of UKTV (the other half is owned by BBC worldwide).
