And by this I mean FTA/FTV channels only. Including any on Freeview.
For me, I'd go for general entertainment channels like Sony TV and UKTV Drama. Though I doubt we will be getting the last one anytime soon. :mad:

Pretty much covered all the bases there! The two Sony channels would be a great alternative, but uktv really would be nice. Quest or something similar is crying to be added as freesat really needs a documentary channel, all the others are catered for but quest would launch to a captive audience, IMO
Sony TV (and +1)
Sony Movies (and +1)
Quest
Dave (and HD)

The other UKTV channels can stay pay for all I care, but if they are making them FTA on DTT then they should make them FTA on satellite too, there are plenty of spot beams now to stop overspill so rights issues shouldn't really be a problem.
TV5 Monde and arte with English subtitles would be nice too.
CHANNEL 5 HD
Quest
Drama
Crime & Investigation network (yes I know this will never happen)
but as someone pointed out documentary channels are the missing freesat limb.
I know CBS reality shows some documentary but these seem to be very limited and on a constant loop.
some form of Paranormal channel wouldn't go amiss either many not just me have an interest in paranormal documentaries.
Wish lists will never get channels added to the EPG.
Freesat is quite happy to sit there waiting for the channels to come knocking at the door, rather than contact the channels, and offer attractive deals to get ghem on board.
Whats stopping freesat from adding the regional variations of ITV ?
This will cheekyily tske the number of channels beyound 200 which freesat targeted a few years back.
As Freesat doesn't have any FTV channels, I presume the OP means what channels would everyone like to see on the Freesat EPG that are currently FTA or FTV elsewhere, but not on the EPG.
Channel 5 HD

thats my wish list
Yep, I'd like to see both Sony Entertainment Television and Sony Movie Channel join Freesat at some future stage and at least they are realistic possibilities.
I like your suggestion of the European arte channel, kev, and it's a pity that it's not available free to air on the 28.2*E satellite cluster with English subtitles.
I never really see the point in these wishlist threads.
Looks like one of the channels on my wishlist is joining (credit to skylover4life for posting this in a separate thread):

I wonder if True Drama may make an appearance at the same time?

Strange that...
Doesn't take away the fact that this type of thread has been done tons of times already and serves little purpose.
Some channels will never join the platform but others will. But we can always hope.
People come here to talk about and share information about Freesat. And because of that lists like these will always pop up. If you don't like them just don't read them. I ignore lots of stuff on this forum. Mostly the 'Football/Sports coverage that can be viewed on freesat, updated weekly!' thread as it doesn't interest me.
And they have to pay for the service , no payment no epg slot. It's the epg fees that pay for the service.

Would all be on my list!
Also the addition of Pay TV sports options such as Sky Sports 1/2 would be good.
