Hi Martin,
Have a look at the latest article regarding Five - http://www.digital4free.co.uk/five-fiver-and-five-us-coming-to-freesat-very-soon/
At the moment, there are no plans that I am aware of for Virgin One and Dave to join Freesat - both of them are part of the Sky package and will probably remain as a subscription based package I’m afraid.
