free sat from sky has been around since day one it just never had a name before. you could buy the equipment without having a subscription from day one. still whether you think that Sky has too much control or if freesat is good or not, they claim that over time (in freesat's case) that they will have the same channels, the only difference being that at present Sky offer more channels & of course the EPG. this website: http://www.christiantv.org.uk/ offers a different FTA service that caters for christians & as they put it: 'Apart from the Christian channels, you can’t be sure of good content, and also from time to time any channel may change the frequency, which means that where a good channel is being broadcast, you can suddenly find a not-so-good channel. (It is the satellite companies who dictate the frequencies: it has nothing to do with the broadcasters or us.)'. however they like to control what buyers of their equipment watch: 'Pretuned Satellite Receiver with all Christian Channels for Astra 2 (28deg East) plus News Channels, Childrens programmes and BBC1-4, ITV1-4 including local regions. Undesirable channels removed. Total of over 100 channels all free to watch. This box makes you fully Digital and ready for the digital switch over.
If you buy this Receiver you will NOT need to buy a digital TV! Note: Channel 4 and 5 not currently available should be free about end of 2007 ready for the Digital Switch.' this service has been around for years now like.
