Here is a list of the freeview channels on Sky. We're thinking of just having freeview Sky now as so many of these channels are the ones we tend to watch.
Apparently Sky are putting more channels on freeview in the next month also.
I'm only intersted in the entertainment, movies & news but others might be interested in childrens etc.

Could you please let us all know which of these channels are available with the different sized dishes?? What is the minimum size needed to get a good mix of the freeview channels & how much it costs for a fixed or motorised version & what extra channels we could expect to pick up on a motorised version?
I think many of us would pick up a spare Sky box for Turkey if we could get a reasonably priced dish installation & could pick up a good selection of free Sky. At £2,200 I wouldn't be interested - that buys one heck of a lot of films or TV series off ebay + I don't want a dish that size.
