I'm looking to move away from sky and want to know the best alternative in PHs opinion. unfortunately I do enjoy sky sports, but really just want to mainly get the main satellite channels plus Dave, Discovery, comedy central etc. HD would be nice

thanks

I got rid of Virgin a couple of months ago and replaced it with catch up services, streaming, downloads, etc.

Good choice, except for the small fact that none of the channels the OP is interested in are available on Freesat. smile

I dropped Sky a while ago and I can't have Virgin so I just got used to not having Eurosport and Discovery etc. Dave can watched on Freeview easily enough.

ideally I want Motors TV too, but that only appears on Virgin ( cant get it as no FO) and Sky. Looks like im stuck with Sky.

MotorsTv is available on "Freesat by Sky" (different from Freesat) as it is now free-to-air.

Would love to go Fresat but Motors TV and Eurosport are the only channels I seem to watch
