Why can't I get film 4 on freeview?

I recieve all other channels except Ftn and have checked online for signal strength in my area which is fine. Retuning the box hasn't worked.

    You need to subscribe to film 4, even though it's free. Phone the number on the screen when you try and connect - that should get you signed up!

    Film 4 is Free....now

    I had the same problem...as my roof aerial did not pick up most channels.

    You can either get your Roof Aerial changed to a Digital one, with a longer pole...

    or

    What i'm doing just for now is

    get a Indoor Aerial (battery powered).... I'am using this one....Its excellent

    you could try an indoor digital ariel which work well with freeview. Argos give a 16 day moneyback guarantee so if it didn't help you haven't lost anything.

    As far as I know, when a new channel comes onto freeview you have to manually tune/search for it and then it will appear.
