i can get some free to air channels like 1-5 strangely i cant get itv3 or itv4 but i can get itv3+1 and itv4+1 im assuming that virgin encrypt most of their channels even with a live feed?Comment

yes they do
which is why when you asked about freeview , those channels are only freeview on freeview , and sometimes on freesat
ch5 is scrambled on sly , as are 5usa and 5* and pick tv , so the term freeview only applies to digital terrestrial freeview through your aerial , which is paid for by the tv license , hence my earlier clarification
you are getting free to air channels , not freeview channels , and so yopu will find that pick tv is also scrambled , as will many more that are free on freeview ( not scrambled )
if you have had analogue switched off and are in a freeeview area , you need a freeview box , or a freeview tv , and then you can easily watch freeview , happened in my area 18 months ago and we all have freeview tv,s , freeview boxes , freeview recorders etcComment
