Not really at the moment if you've already got a DVB-S card pointing
at 28.2. The C4 channels are still undergoing testing - Channel 4
should be available in the clear, more4 and E4 are still encrypted
(FTV, not FTA) but may become FTA, and five is unlikley to be
available 'in the clear' at launch.

The DigitalSpy forum at
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=142 is a good
place to keep up-to-date with what's happening in the week before
FreeSat goes live.
