They're mistakenly using the word Freeview where they should use the term
DTT. Come on, this isn't rocket science. The clue is in the name! From the
Freeview FAQ:
http://www.freeview.co.uk/help/channels-programming/q4b
"Will I be able to get pay channels with Freeview?

There are no plans to include any "pay" channels as part of the Freeview
service. The core idea behind Freeview is that all the channels are free
and there's only a one-off payment for the equipment and no contract. 

There are other companies who offer extra content such as sport, movies,
entertainment, children's programmes etc on a subscription or pay per view
basis and you'll still receive the Freeview channels for free . These
include Top Up TV, Setanta and BT Vision but you may need the right
equipment to receive their channels and services. These companies are run
separately to Freeview, which remains a not-for-profit organisation
committed to providing free digital TV."
