From TVCL – TV Channel Lists
(Redirected from List of Channels on Sky)
Sky is the brand name for Sky UK Ltd's digital satellite television service platform, transmitted from the Astra satellites located at 28.2° East. The service is in the main available through subscription packs with additional pay-per-view channels. Sky also provide a 'Freesat-from-Sky' option (not to be confused with Freesat from the BBC and ITV) for a one off payment which has the free-to-air channels plus a small number of free-to-view ones (which require a Sky viewing card).
This list details the current channels available on Sky in the United Kingdom (UK) & Ireland (Ire). Some channels are not available in all regions.

Freesat-from-Sky
More info: Freesat from Sky on Wikipedia
Freesat-from-Sky (FsfS) is a service available in the UK from Sky UK. FsfS contains all the free-to-air channels available on Sky UK and Freesat, but also transmits free-to-view channels that are not available on the BBC's and ITV's Freesat platform. FsfS contains the free-to-air and free-to-view channels shown on this page. A "Freesat-from-Sky" viewing card is required. Even though Sky UK provides this platform, it does not advertise it. FsfS is available for one-off payments covering the equipment and viewing card.

HD swap and prominence of HD channels
For channels with identical SD & HD versions, channel numbers sometimes differ between HD & SD boxes. Where a channel has both an SD & an HD version, subscribers with an SD box always see the SD version of a channel in a more prominent position than the HD version. Subscribers with an HD box generally see the HD channel listed in the more prominent position.
The lists below assume that the HD version is always shown in the more prominent position (e.g. because a customer has the Sky HD packages). In reality viewers this will not always be the case (see rest of this section) in which case the HD & SD channels should be swapped when looking at the lists.
For subscribers to Sky HD, non-premium subscription HD channels and Sky's premium subscription HD channels (Sky Sports) on an HD box are "HD swapped" with the SD counterpart, giving the HD version of the channel greater prominence in the EPG. This also occurs for some premium subscription channels e.g. Racing TV.
Subscribers to Sky Cinema and Sky Sports packages get both the SD & HD versions of the Sky Cinema and/or Sky Sports channels respectively and the HD versions are given greater prominence on the EPG.
For free-to-air channels the HD channel is generally in the more prominent position on all HD boxes, regardless of subscription. However, in the case of a small number of channels with regional variations in their programming or advertising (BBC One, BBC Two, ITV & Channel 4) the HD version is only in the more prominent position in areas of the UK that receive identical HD & SD versions. In Ireland, BBC One HD is more prominent because the SD & HD versions are both BBC One NI but BBC Two SD is more prominent because the HD & SD versions show different regions (England & NI respectively).
For certain premium channels (BT Sport Channels & AMC), the HD swap applies only for subscribers to those channels.
Broadcast hours
Broadcast hours shown in the tables below are for the HD and SD channels. Where the HD and/or SD channel broadcats for 24 hours a day and there is a +1, the +1 will do likewise. Where the HD and/or SD channel broadcast for under 24 hours, an hour should be added to the start and closing times of the HD/SD channel to establish the +1 channel's hours.
Channel formats
HD channels are in 1080p (Sky Q boxes) or 1080i (Sky+HD boxes). SD and +1 channels are generally in 16:9 aspect except those marked with a footnote of "4:3" in the channel tables below.
Abbreviations
The following abbreviations are used in the channel number columns: Eng=England; GB=Great Britain; Ire=Ireland; NI=Northern Ireland; Scot=Scotland; ScotB=Scottish Border, ScotNotSB=Scotland excluding Scottish Border, UK=United Kingdom.
Some other key abbreviations used on this page: AD=audio description; Enc. - encryption; EPG - electronic programme guide; HD=high definition (1080i on Sky HD boxes & 1080p on Sky Q); LCNs - logical channel numbers; SD - standard definition (576i).
