    Doh... They did it with Sky one on Freeview last year, and I got to watch some neat stuff.

    That's despite the fact that I have Virgin TV anyway... Hmm...

    Typically they selected a load of old crappy films to show, don't get much for free ;) Half of those have been shown recently on other channels
