This is a list of all of the free-to-air channels that are currently available via satellite from SES Astra satellites (Astra 2E/2F/2G) located at 28.2 °E. These are the same group of satellites used for the Sky pay-TV platform and the Freesat free-to-air platform, therefore existing installations for these platforms would not require a realignment of the satellite dish or the purchase of any additional equipment.

Prominence of HD channels
Channel numbers sometimes differ between HD boxes and standard boxes. On HD boxes, HD channels are generally given prominence over the SD counterpart (though it does not apply in all regions of the UK in some cases). For this article, it is assumed that the subscriber has the HD pack (Sky) or a HD box (Freesat).

Entertainment & Documentaries
Notes for the Entertainment section:
 * FTV - These channels are free-to-view. This means that they are free-to-air, but require a Sky Viewing Card, with or without a subscription(s) and can be manually tuned throughout the UK.
 * IreEnc - In the Ireland advertising region, these channels are encrypted and require a subscription. Therefore, these frequency values are omitted.

Movies
Notes for the Movies section:
 * IreEnc - In the Ireland advertising region, these channels are encrypted and require a subscription. Therefore, these frequency values are omitted.
