UKTV, which is a commercial joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc and who provide 11 branded channels have announced today that three of their channels will be on Freesat "later this month".
UKTV’s CEO Darren Childs said, "We work hard to secure platform deals that give more people our channels, and ultimately grow UKTV’s footprint. Freesat viewers will be able to watch gripping history shows on Yesterday, some of Britain’s finest, critically-acclaimed drama content on Drama, and unbelievable real life stories on Really. As UKTV continues to invest heavily in new shows, there’s never been a better time to have access to our channels."
But...
I can't help wondering why Dave hasn't made it though…
Help with Free satellite?

Will these channels also be available on Sky No Card (fsfs)?

This is excellent news. Drama is my favourite non Freesat channel. Maybe Gold will follow eventually?

Yes Dave is on Freeview but not Freesat. The same goes for Quest.

Channels are live on Freesat - can someone confirm if they work on Sky without the card in the slot?

Briantist: 'Yesterday' will be unavailable in the case where the 'no-card' bouquet is in use. Haven't got a working sky box at present, so can't check, but, ages ago, I tried pulling the card out and power cycling, in an unsuccessful attempt to rid the box of its regionalisation, the objective being to get it to use the 'no-card' bouquet.

js: Yes, you are quite correct on this point. I decided to try another test by disconnecting the box from the mains supply then removing the card from same before powering it up again, findings being, that although Drama and Really still worked OK the box did not recognise 537/538 as being a channel, reinstalling the card (a standard non-sub viewing type) restoring both.

jb38: Thanks. Good to have that verified.
Another anomaly is the ITV region on 103 being Central West. ITV London should be available for Audio Description. It is available in all the regions on 973 for that reason, but appears to be absent on this bouquet.
