From July Film4 will launch on freeview and go FTA on Sky. I'd imagine it'll also go into the base pack on Ntl/Telewest.
 to this one. I've always found that Film4 shows much better films than the Sky movie channels.
The only problem is the ad-breaks that'll be introduced but I suppose you can't have everything. |
Have we had any confirmation that NTL will put it in the base pack please?
As for ad breaks, they do seem to be a lot longer. Wonder if they will take over from the programs eventually? LOL!!

Re: Film4 comes to freeview
I dont mind the adverts but it is funney that sky are doing anti ad stuff and film four have a massive add promotion and make your own advert which is bound to get loads of coverage! http://www.channel4.com/film/film4ad/
maybe thats why thay have made a big thing of it-to distract from the stuff about them having ads or just as people will be talking about ads-lets make it a huge focus..clever stuff if so!

Re: Film4 comes to freeview
Will Film 4 be on analogue NTL? It used to be but was taken off a while ago, is it going to be put back as its becoming free?

In fairness to Film 4, Sky charge a subscription to access their film channels. Film 4 is subscription free, so have to make their money somewhere.
Sky would have a valid claim if their own film channels were free.

Re: Film4 comes to freeview
I'm not too worried about there being ads if they're going to show films I enjoy but which I wouldn't otherwise have thought to see at the cinema / rent a DVD. Unless, that is, they go for the same level of advertising as they do in Lost, in which case it will be hopelessly irritating.

Re: Film4 comes to freeview
I'm not bothered about adverts. I'm just happy it's not another quiz channel coming to my Freeview.

I've looked at channel 50 on analogue but there's no channel there yet. F4 used to be on 46 as I remember.

NTL 50 will probably refer to digital TV in the former Cable and Wireless franchise areas, they have different channel numbers there. I'd be surprised if this channel is carried on analogue.

No, it won't be on analogue - analogue is being phased out so I don't think adding channels to the line up is part of the plan.

Re: Film4 comes to freeview
So now we get FilmFour and FilmFour +1 included in the base pack.
According to Digital Spy, Filmfour Weekly is ceasing to broadcast, which frees up another channel space.
Oh, it's an exciting life on NTL!! LOL.
