Yes it's good. Just could do with Amazon or Dave channel I'm not been greedy and I'm not asking for channels that will never join like some people....

Thinking of the channels which are still missing from Freesat compared to Freeview, i.e. Dave, Quest and 4Music, I can't see anything other than 4Music possibly appearing.
I personally think that this year there won't be anything. Maybe some obscure FTV moving to FTA but that really is it |

There's also a rumour that E4 HD will be going FTA next year, so maybe not this year's Christmas present, but next year's

Channel 4 will be very disappointed to lose that revenue steamer!?!
In addition, HD is now becoming much more the expected norm, rather than the premium service it once was. |

If it's true, C4 may not have a choice if it's because intend Sky kick them out of the Sub Club upon expiration of the contract.

Nevertheless, the VAST majority of FTA channels are SD!?! I'm always shocked at how awful the non HD channels on our freesat look; it's a shame that we can't go MPEG4 overnight as the French have, it makes a huge difference, even to SD channels. Granted also that France only have 27 "freeview" channels, they've preferred to maintain quality over quantity. |

The new channels that have appeared in the past are nothing to do with Freesat either, apart from their owners decided to pay Freesat for inclusion on their EPG (which is all Freesat is really). Interestingly, I actually saw a Freesat advert on ITV earlier today

Why would you imagine ANYTHING might happen, Freesat don't give 'Christmas Presents', nor do other broadcasters.

Sky Sports News
The way Sky are pushing the sports channels and with good discounts currently available they obviously need more people to subscribe to balance the books.
It would not be unthinkable for Sky to put SS News in sd back on freeview and freesat as a barker channel. |

I really can't see anything new being added for Christmas, this thread is all just pure fantasy for the same old stuff..
As others have already said there is nothing more out there now that isn't locked into contracts. I think all we will see now is brand new channels join if they go FTA and then the usual cycle of channels dropping off and rejoining every so often |

I think we should be grateful that UKTV have given us Drama, Really and Yesterday which are all good additions to Freesat. If anyone really wants Dave content then the thing to is either combine Freesat with Freeview, watch Dave programmes on UKTV's catchup service or watch Dave online via TV Player. |
