The Good News : FIVE has joined Freesat….and is available without a Sky card….
The Bad news: It IS on the same frequency as BBC2 and so will have the same availability as BBC2.
And more bad news: There may also be certain programmes / movies / sports that will be blocked and not shown on this Free version of Five due to contractual reasons, as confirmed by the captions displayed during the past few weeks of testing during certain programmes.
At the moment, the Sky card version of FIVE is still there and easily available with an 80cm dish….for now…..
