This seems to be great.

I thought you might like to see this which I recently discovered.


http://www.freesat.co.uk/home.php

freesat is a brand new, all singing, all dancing, digital satellite TV service from the BBC and ITV. freesat has no monthly subscription, just a one-off payment for the digital box, satellite dish and installation - so you pay once, and watch forever. It will even come with subscription-free, high-definition TV programmes. And because freesat is broadcast via satellite, it'll be available to almost every household in the UK when it launches in Spring 08.

  • No actual list of channels yet but it looks interesting. Worth keeping an eye on anyway.

    It will almost replicate Freeview with the exception of Channel 4 and 5's as far as I am aware, they have contractual issues with Sky that need to expire before they can be broadcast in the clear.
