Channel 4 via freeview or free-to-air satellite

Could anybody tell me if Channel 4 is available on freeveiw or free to air. I have a Skybox and can get all the ITV and BBC programmes but no Channel 4.
Many thanks

you need a card registered to an address in the UK. Just ask Bavaria Satellite, they can help you as they sort this out for most people on TT.

If you have a skybox I take it you have a sky card? If you have then you should recieve channel 4 If you have no card then get one :-)
If you have a card but no channel 4 check your sky dish Wiggle it abit thats what we did

Hi sorry for this question but I'm just looking fora definitive answer!

What are my options for television in Berlin if im looking for english channels or at least english speaking channels?

Is there a comparison site where you can see what each provider offers? Im just looking to be put on the right track here and ive spent the last hour googling this with not much fun! help!

So FTA card is required but no subscription needed

Exactly LoneWolf. I have a FTV card which I was given when I bought my Digibox from Ebay. I get lots of English channels at no cost whatsoever... all Sky channels must be paid for and can only be accessed with a UK registered card... bloody expensive.

I got me a FTV sky card and get as mentioned plus movies 315 and 207 and a couple of other channels not mentioned also with the FTV card. You get sky 3 free.

It's important to get the nomenclature, as there are many misconceptions and misunderstandings. "FTA" (Free-to-air) is commonly applied to satellite channels that require no subscription, card nor special equipment except for any (digital) satellite receiver and suitable dish. As far as UK channels are concerned this includes ALL BBC TV and Radio, all ITV channels and a number of news and general interest channels. It also includes Film 4 and Film 4+1 which recently went from subscription to FTA. "FTV" (Free-to-View) is used to describe encrypted channels which need special hardware (for UK channels this can only be a Sky Digibox with built-in Videoguard decryption) and card, for which there is a one-time payment and no monthly subscription. UK FTV channels basically add Channel 4 and the "Five" channels (Five, Five US an Five Life) to the FTA line up. "Freeview" is a terrestrial reception service in the UK, does not apply to satellite services and cannot be received outside of the UK mainland
