Wink Motorised satellite recevier question

I currently have a Sky dish and receiver and view Free to Air channels without a subscription.

I am considering buying a motorised satellite dish in order to get a lot more channels, still without a subscription.

I have been recommended a 90cm Triax dish and TM5400ci super Technomate receiver.

Which satellites will I be able to access and which channels will I be able to receive for free?

Thanks,

about 30+ satellites and a few 1000 channels - most non English but a few gems with those good choices...

Look at LyngSat - Lyngemark Satellite or www.kingofsat.net to see what channels are available ITC (In The Clear), i.e. FTA (Free To Air).
