Free-to-air (FTA) services are television (TV) and radio services broadcast in unencrypted form, allowing any person with the appropriate receiving equipment to receive the signal and view or listen to the content without requiring a subscription, other ongoing cost, or one-off fee (e.g., pay-per-view).
This is a list of the free-to-air channels that are currently available via satellite from SES Astra satellites (Astra 2E/2F/2G) at orbital position 28.2 °E, serving Ireland and the United Kingdom.

PBS provides all of their channels free to TV providers who do not receive local member stations. As of 2023, PBS's satellite feeds, as well as a few other PBS stations, can be received unscrambled using a free-to-air satellite receiver set to these coordinates: PBS at 99°W (on the Galaxy 16 satellite), K u-band, unencrypted.
