The channel listing for FTA satellite is slowly getting better, but TBH I think it's still too early to jump in. There are no C4 channels except FilmFour, and no C5 at all. The line-up is pretty much identical to Freesat From Sky (except Sky gives you 4 and 5).

I'm interested in FTA sat but I'm going to wait for BBC Freesat. I'm betting by the time they get it out, they will have got 4 and 5 on board, and hopefully e4 and more4 as well. Possibly even one or two of the UKTV channels.

I don't know what kind of EPG service is currently available on FTA satellite either. I know that BBC and ITV are working on a decent one for Freesat.
