What channels would you like to see go FTA

What channels would you like to see going Free-To-Air? I'm delighted Quest has gone Free-To-Air. Other channels I'd like to see are Dave, Home, Gold and Comedy Central. It's great UKTV put Drama, Really and Yesterday free to air, I wonder if their other channels will eventually follow suit.

Dave Home and Sony Movie Channel might go FTA as they are on Freeview. In the medium to long term more channels from the UKTV group may go FTA but I would imagine SD only.

Film4 in hd and Dave/Gold/Comedy Central are the ones for me.....oh and RTE too

I'd like to see Sky Sports News going free, I think from a Sky Sports point of view it would act as a good showcase to their premium channels and allow them to see adverts to a wider audience.

Am surprised that this has not already happened. The only reason I can imagine is something around the rights to show the PL goals first .. or something related to this... ?

Also is Sky News HD on the paid platform? ... should be HD on FTA also.

ITV Encore would be nice too.

Sky Sports News cannot show any premier league goals before MOTD unless it is a game shown live on Sky Sports.

In Germany Sky Sport News is FTA so would be nice if they followed suit over here. It is after all a 24 hour rolling advert for Sky Sports.

Sony & Sony +1 are FTV ..... Is Dave FTV ?

Eurosport UK would be nice but unlikely. I'd like channels to broadcast in full fat SD or HD - the UKTV threesome on FTA are just dreadful when compared to full fat SD channels.

That is brilliant news about Dave launching FTA. This is something that will be useful to watch.
