Television X-question

Was going through some old video tapes earlier and found some Television X stuff. It advertised as being available on freeview.
I have a Panasonic digital tv box in my room. Is it still available on digital tv or not? I have checked their website but it mentions Sky Digital only.
Can anyone help? Probably a long shot but thought I would ask lol.

Television X has never been available on Feeview. It used to be on terrestrial digital tv in the OnDigital/ITV Digital days.

TV-X will be available on Top Up TV for ?9.99 a month which is the new pay-TV upgrade for Freeview - but you will need a new Freeview box which has a smartcard slot.

It did used to be available on Freeview cos I have seen the advert on an old broadcast. The term freeview is misleading though as obviously you have to pay for Tvx. I believe Freeview was the old Itv Digital etc.
When is the Top Up Tv out?

Lol nothing's changed there then? ;o)
I've checked the Freeview website and it mentions nothing about this top up tv.

Sorry to argue, mate, but I've had Freeview since it was introduced and Television X has NEVER been available on the service. Freeview is exactly what it says: free - there are no pay channels and never have been.
