    The term is Free-to-air (without any card) or Free-to-view (with UK FTV card) not Freeview. Freeview is UK digital terrestrial.

    See here for a list of channels and frequencies on Astra. It also indicates what is FTA. If the FTA channel is not on your EPG then you will be able to tune it in on other channels.

    Fiver and 5USA are not free to air.
    As with RTE, you need a sky subscription to get them (It's not really that bizarre)

    There is no reason not to get Cbeebies and CBBC - they tend to be on the same place as BBCs 3&4.
    CITV should be fine to tune too, are you using Freesat or just FTA?
    Freesat will place the channels in a specific location that is universal , like sky, for all subscribers.

    You have not listed the 'Zone' Channels or the movie channels, do you have them?
    Is paranormal still going?

    BBC News 24 is on Freesat, but Sky news is not - though both are FTA.
    Do you have the other news', like Al JAzeera (Arab in English), France 24 (French in English), Russia today (Russian in english) or CCTV News (Chinese in english)

    And there are a lot of FTA Music channels youy have not mention, like NME TV, Bliss, Scuzz, etc

    You should be able to get everything that isn't a green colour:

    Fiver and Five US, along with Channel 4HD and Sky 3 are Free-to-view and do not need a sky subscription, they just require an ex-subscription UK Sky card or a freesat-from-sky card
