    The internet tv channels will be ip rstricted to the countries in which Al Jazeera Sport broadcast won't they?

    Also will the cost of renewals increase for 12 months as against the current prices?

    Thats what im awaiting a definate answer too, was my question also

    Not with ourselves anyway some suppliers trying to cash in on the bandwagon with "offers until the 15th of jan" but not telling the buyer that the euro2012 games wont be on it without a upgrade

    Messed up that quote a bit,

    What will their regular sport channels be showing while the Euros are on? Sneaky carry on from Al Jazeera. Luckily I have other outlets to watch these games from.

    Any news on HD channels? Would be perfect if +3 (at least) was HD....

    I agree with you totally Minstrel !!! but they also did something similar with the world cup too.

    In fairness to aljazeera for the price of a sub it's a great package,

    Dear Client .
    the last year aljazeera sport was accept add the events package +9 , +10 and HD channels till 31/12/2011 Only Even If you add this package on October .
    so Must of people lost these channels.
    but don't worry you can now add these channels on your card Online and Enjoy your Favorite channels.
    all you need Just submit order online at our website . www.jsc-cards.com/order

    or visit this Link Direct to add these channels on your card .

    Note : when you add this Package on your card . it's will be Expired with Basic Package
    for example :
    * If your Basic Package will be Expired on 20/12/2012 then also the Events package will be Expired at the same date
    *and If your Basic Package will be Expired on 25/09/2012 then also the Events package will be Expired at the same date .

    Thankfully I only went for +1 to +8 on my renewal. Strange how they turned off those channels for people that paid for them.

    i bought my 1-10 card in the middle of february 2011.

    i noticed the chid 0006 went missing off it on jan 1st and 9 & 10 went off, so it looks like i.ve lost out on 1 and a half months. glad it wasn't september or october as it looks like you'd be down 8 or 9 months.

    chid 0004 is still ok and 1-8 are updating as usual.

    that jsc crowd has a renewal of 1-8 at €69 whereas the supplier i got it from last year wants €90.

    i sent my old card number to jsc last year but they said it couldn't be renewed and were offering me a new card but it was €20 more expensive than the fella i got it from. has anyone used them before and what were they like to deal with.

    thanks.

    Me too, Viaccess card. I emailed the ebay seller, he replied within the hour -
    "Hi
    All the JSC cards are having some sort of technical problems this will be solved soon
    This is beyond our control"

    Hopefully it'll be sorted pronto. Looking at old threads, people seemed to have to update their cards online once a year, involving proxies etc. Is this still relevant, or should the cards just work for the year, even in Cccam?


  • Registered Users Posts: 305 ✭✭reaper180


    same here, went off watching fa cup match around 4pm today,channels 4-8 were gone all morning then i lost them all

    Edit...thanks rurs!


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭willyb007


    Mine too, Please post back here if anyone finds a solution. I still have 6 months left of my +1 to +10 Subscription and they cancelled +9 and +10 on New Years Day.

    And I jus forked out €180 yesterday for a Card splitter to use with this! Just my luck!

    Rurs, Bet it was same crowd I bought mine from accross the water got the same message delivered twice to me, as if he copied and pasted it. He must be innondated.


  • Registered Users Posts: 305 ✭✭reaper180

  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭willyb007

    Just saw this article in an arabic newspaper about it. They say that it the fault was due to an interference to a satellite tranmission. Rather than a change in the encryption of the cards.

    http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=479632&version=1&template_id=36&parent_id=16
    Al Jazeera announces new Arabsat satellite frequency
    Doha-based Al Jazeera television channel has announced a new frequency for Arabsat viewers, 11334V, “after continued interferences to its satellite transmissions”. Al Jazeera says it has faced a series of satellite interference events over the past 12 months. “These sustained interferences have been an attempt to disrupt the Network’s broadcasts across the Middle East and North Africa,” a press statement issued by the channel said yesterday.
    “We would like to inform our viewers of the new satellite frequency on Arabsat,” said Saeed Bawazir, director of technology at Al Jazeera Network. “Over the last few months, Al Jazeera has faced sustained interference to our satellite transmissions. These occurrences will only strengthen our commitment to continue providing our award-winning coverage across the region 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We urge our viewers on Arabsat to tune to this new frequency for uninterrupted coverage.”
    The channel said that in February 2011, its satellite services were jammed and an attempt was made to disrupt its services. “Al Jazeera responded by launching its channels across various satellites, allowing viewers to receive continuous coverage.” Viewers, it said, could stay up-to date on how to watch Al Jazeera by visiting the website: http://sat.aljazeera.net

    +1 thru +8 are gone for me. All scrambled/unavailable. My card is fine and in date so no idea what's going on. I had the Manchester derby working fine this afternoon.

    Anyone else lost their channels?
