Thane Direct, a shopping channel will be added to the Freesat EPG tomorrow, 4th November 2008. Allocated slot channel # 811.
Also joining will be BEN TV, a special interest channel, allocated slot channel #664.

Can you delete these channels from the list (like you can in freeview) or are you stuck with them on freesat?

Wonder if we might get Discovery.
Apparently they’re launching a channel on Freeview:

Would make a great HD addition to Freesat!

Al, thanks! that would definitely get my vote, especially if it also moves to FreeSat and eventually a nice HD variation (as it is already in the States)

Was due today “subject to technical completion” so might have been delayed.

Pay channels aren’t suddenly going to forgo their subscription income, and Sky is quite unlikely to decide to give some of their channels away on a rival platform.
