It's widely belived that Dave will go FTA when rights and Sky contractual agreement issues are resolved.

The +1 variant for Yesterday (the only one of them to have a timeshift service) is expected to join Freesat too.

Unverified rumours abound that Quest and Netflix will also join, as well as the certainly that Talking Pictures starts next month.

With PBS recently joining, Freetime (backwards EPG) and free PVR recording, Freesat is beginning to look very tempting.
