Never understood why it's on Freeview and not on Freesat or even Freesat from Sky?
Perhaps a move to 2D or this new sat (1N is it?) might see it going FTA, I won't hold my breath though
BTW defo one of my 10 most watched channels.

would be great news if they did become fta, escpecially now that its owner already owns the food network which is fta at present..

When is UKTV's current contract with Sky finished?
