I was surprised, having watched the Pick TV channel for the first time (not having Freeview, only Freesat) how many channels they promote, not just the Sky owned channels but other ones that are available on SKY, and which you never see any promos for on regular Free[view|sat] TV.
It makes you aware of all the channels youre "missing".
I wonder if the two channels will come to Freesat proper and appear on the EPG like they do on Freeview. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. On the one hand, Pick TV seems like a not too bad channel - andd it seems to have improved recently - but on the other, I'm not sure I want it tempting people to get Sky!
