This is a difficult list to compile as things change all the time and different equipment can offer different chans. Also everyones 'popular' is different, so its just a basic guide, not extensive in any way. Thanks to Skinback for a previous list to make start from.
So feel free to add your comments and additional channels to this list, including free chans that are any good.
Remember- watching pay-tv without paying is illegal. Do not expect pay-tv channels to always clear, it is not your right to view just because they did clear before- get an official subscription if you want stability!
