Freeview name change!?

Just reset my Freeview, I noticed a few more channels have been added. I do have to pay to access some of them, don't I?
If this is the case can it still be called Freeview?

Have you been living in a cave for the last 3 months? It's called TopUpTV.

You can only get the channels if you have an ex ITV-Digital or onDigital STB (or some other means of using a SECA2 CAM).

Hopefully they will go bust some time in the not too distant future.

Don't normally get time to watch the box much. In reply to your question YES.

Freeview is the brand name for a number of channels on the DTT network, these new PAY channels are also on DTT but not part of the Freeview collective.

Confusing?
Not really but for millions of people seeing the BBC promos and who are new to digital it could very well be !
