MikeP- You say there are a 'few differences' Why would that be? Do freesat offer a few more than the normal free-to-air channels (or vice versa). Also can anyone explain the difference between free-to-air and free-to-view?. Last question- is this list above up to date as i believe now 4music is free-to-air, yet isnt listed as available on sky no card or freesat.

Alex: Freesat has fewer channels listed on the EPG, as not all free to air broadcaster have decided to pay the fees for their channels to be included, although unlisted channels can still be tuned in manually on most receivers. Free to air channels are broadcast without encryption, whereas free to view channels are encrypted and require a viewing card to decode them, although don't require an active subscription and is usually used by channels who have to have tight geographic restrictions on the territories where they can be received. 4music has indeed recently changed from free to view and become free to air and is available on both Sky and Freesat boxes and is currently shown as such at the top of this page (perhaps it has only been updated since you checked).

StevensOnln1- Thankyou.
A general question here- any particular reason why the likes of 4SevenHD, Channel4+1HD, Dave, Quest, and weirdly channel5 SD are freeview exclusives and not available on freesat/fsfs, does that mean they're not free-to-air?
Also does Fsfs include any free-to-view channels or are they all free-to-air.

Alex: 4Seven HD and Channel4 +1 HD are are not available on Sky/Freesat because Channel 4 haven't chosen to broadcast them on satellite (they were launched on Freeview to encourage people to buy HD receivers). Dave and Quest are subscription channels on Sky and are only free to air on Freeview. Channel 5 SD is available on all Sky boxes and Freesat SD boxes but is replaced on the EPG by Channel 5 HD on Freesat HD boxes (presumably so that Channel 5 don't have to pay for an extra EPG listing). Freesat from Sky gives you exactly the same channels (i.e. all free to air & all free to view) that you get with a cancelled subscription card.

Do we have a list on here of all the free channels and whether they are free-to-air or free-to-view? Just out of interest.

Alex: The top of this page lists most free to air channels that appear on either the Freeview, Sky or Freesat EPGs. There are only a handful of free to view channels but I don't know anywhere that gives a complete listing of them. A few free to view channels that spring to mind are Motors TV, Sony Movie Channel, Yesterday +1, Insight HD and various local TV channels (only some local TV channels are on Sky but those broadcast on satellite are free to view).

During the last few months I haven't been able to access Al Jazeera , Yesterday, RT or free sky news on my Humax HDR-FOX T2 set top box which used to be broadcast from the Redruth transmitter. My aerial is fine so what is going on?

Gabe Monro: The SD version of Al Jazeera was removed from Freeview and the HD version isn't broadcast from Redruth. Are you able to receive Pick on channel 11 and 4music on channel 18?
