I think it's been FTA for a couple of months now (certainly since I got my replacement Orange viewing card in July). Though for the life of me, I can't see why they are transmitting in such a stretched letterbox format.

You mean it's like that ALL the time?! It looks like a 4:3 letterboxed film broadcast with the 16:9 signal on!

In my opinion, that's unwatchable. I already struggle with zoomed-in 4:3 or 2.35:1 cropped to fit the 16:9 ratio, so I wouldn't manage to watch a film in which everyone's unnaturally short and fat. Even for free! I just can't understand how anyone managing a tv channel - even a free to air one - could ever come to the conclusion that broadcasting a 4:3 source in 16:9 is acceptable...
Oh well. Probably not that many people watching anyway...
