Hello
Welcome to the forum ubayd
Ok well firstly from your location in Egypt it would be impractical to get the free to air (Freesat) channels as you would need a very big dish in excess of 3.5 mtrs diameter as the Freesat channels are on a spot beam over the UK.
You could get channels from the Southern beams but you would need a viewing card for the these and the ones you could receive FTA are not worth having.
From your My System profile it would seem you have cable, but you do not say what satellite reception equipment you have.... That is what My system is for to let others know so that they can advise you

Thanks for the reply. I've updated the My System section to my knowledge. I was specifically looking for the Sky free-to-air channels and Sky Sports News. What would I have to do in order to get these channels?

Welcome Ubaid. Well,its the free to air channels that you need a big dish for. Here in Cyprus we need 3m for bbc,ch4,five. 1.5m for the news channels,some free movies and music channels and a strong ITV and CH4 which need a freesat card. skysports news is not free and is problematic in a lot of areas here anyway.
