And you dont get the disney channel on sky basic either :'(

Freeview is good because you only need to buy the box and you can record programs onto ur box like sky plus.

Freeview is the best option for other TVs in the house. I have it in the bedroom and it has kept me company with all the random programmes on at night about police forces and australian holidays.

Anyways, the itv 2 show is great! Ben S is a really good presenter and it ha ssome fun stuff in the shows so getting freeview is worth it just for that! IMO!

Sky's to expensive IMO. Freeviews getting better with e4 and e4+1 now available as standard, plus itv2/3 are getting better with great new shows and most importantly its free!

I can't afford £21 a month and if I did get all those channels I would be a tv addict! I prefer to get the lesser amount of channels for a 1 off payment of £30! And still have time to come on here and keep my blog updated!
