Quitting Sky so what channels will I be left with?

Hi all,
I'm out of contract with Sky TV and to be honest thinking of cancelling given I'm paying £27 to mostly watch free channels.
The only channels I don't want to lose are Record (801) and if possible Nickelodeon/ Disney but looks like this won't be possible for the latter (thinking of either browsing You Tube on the TV for the programs our son watches or given I've got an Apple TV just buy some shows on iTunes every once in a while which I'm sure is going to be cheaper than shelling out £27 a month).
I had a quick look on the Sky website but couldn't find a list of their standard channels if you don't have a subscription. Has anyone else seen such a list?
Many thanks.

That site, though somewhat useful, is out-of-date. Do you have any reason for constantly linking to it? Is it perhaps your own site?You can find the information here https://www.ukfree.tv/compare11
Wikepedia has a list of Free-To-Air channels

Sky don't have any such "standard channels". When you cancel, the channels you continue to receive are nothing to do with Sky (which is why there is no list of them on Sky's website-Sky are only interested in subscriptions).I had a quick look on the Sky website but couldn't find a list of their standard channels if you don't have a subscription.

I wouldn't refer to twice as being constant . My you are suspicious, but to allay your fears: I found the site using Google.
Perhaps I'd better leave you to give all the information, in future, as you are obviously The Expert.0 -
You've linked it twice and then made reference to it in another thread. I'm sorry, but that's generally suspicious behaviour unless it's an official site.I wouldn't refer to twice as being constant . My you are suspicious, but to allay your fears: I found the site using Google.
I've never claimed or implied any such thing.Perhaps I'd better leave you to give all the information, in future, as you are obviously The Expert.0 -
Perhaps you could find better use of your time , as counting people's references is rather a sad occupation.0

This is a tiny forum with only a very few regular respondents, do you really think I had to check/count the number of times you referred to that website?Perhaps you could find better use of your time , as counting people's references is rather a sad occupation.
I simply remembered your references to it and therefore (very reasonably) suspected that you were pimping your own site. If you have no affiliation then that's fine, but please don't seek to make an issue where there is none.0 -
Is Harry Hill filming a new series, there seems to be a FIGHT going on.
