In case anyone gets the impression that an EPG is actually being transmitted, the site does state

" The following is only an example of how a future Freesat EPG may look.
Of course certain services such as those from the BBC and ITV will definitely be available on the new platform. How any future service and epg line-up will eventually look in reality, remains to be seen."

There is quite a few more channels there than I had originally envisaged. Although some how I can't see Sky letting Channel 4 leave early on their contract!

It's been reported the initial EPG allocation is 80 slots for radio and TV.

It's reasonable to assume that Freesat themselves have reserved slots for the CH4 and Five family, they may actually be forced to put aside slot 4 and 5 just as SKY had to give 101-105 to the terrestrials.
