E4 and Fimfour switch off on ITV digital

For a little while after ITV digital was closed down e4 and filmfour still broadcast for month or so out of kindness. However that did have to come to a end as ITV digital were no longer operational to update the keys on subscribers cards.

This is interesting, Is there a reason it cant go FTA?

At the time they were still interested in protecting the subscription system. 2-3 yrs later with freeview (DVB-t) in full flow they stop being subscription based and go fta. Filmfour at the time had no ads in films - they do now.

Last words uttered on Film4 on Ondigital: "That's Cool."

Does anyone know what the song is called in the Resident Evil advert?

@ketanmandalia FilmFour has always been owned by Channel 4.

For those who don't get it film4 used to be with itv and then it stopped and you had to get cable to view the big difference is as you probably know it is now owned by channel 4.

@NathanTheOne you can and i will give you a guide as soon as possible

[Ackworth97]

@NathanTheOne you can but you will probably have to find a guide on the internet like i did when i used our old one for my daughters bedroom. The guide i used was taken off but i do think that there will be one up shortly
