I know that I am paying too much for my Sky TV and extra channels. I just need Broadband and extra TV channels. Which free tv channels can I access, please?

If you have a smart TV you can get many apps.

I changed from Sky to Freesat years ago. I bought their box which was easy to set up. You may not need to buy a box though. If your television is "smart" and has a satellite receiver built in you can connect the satellite cables directly into the telly.
I did this last year when my freesat box died.

We are paying too much too.
One of the jobs on my to do list.

I intend to ring them up at some point soon.
But first I need to properly sort out what I and DH do currently watch.

I also will look at the links above.

i find quite enough to watch on freeview, esp london live channel 8, and talking pictures channel 82.
wouldn't pay extra.

Besides having freesat, I also pay for Amazon Prime video and prime music. I find plenty to watch and listen to. I wouldn't go back with Sky.

I ditched Sky as a satellite provide some years ago, bought a cheap Smart TV and now subscribe to, amongst others, the Now TV app - Sky content without the contract. They always have special deals. Currently playing £2 per month for Sky Entertainment package.
