Thanks for the news

I can't get it on the Digibox. Is it one of those channels that FTA receivers can see but digiboxes can't? (ie the Sky trick)

Greenman

DW is labelled 9606
TVE is labelled 9607
All done a grundig box.

Let us know

Worked for me on a panasonic 31. You sure you've got those symbol rates right and all that?

Another attack on FTA non-Pay, non-Sky TV

Also potential reduction of potential for Irish TV.

These are encrypted PAY CHANNELS on Sky.

Free everyplace else.

But it is a thin end of a wedge.

Murdoch does not want any channels to be FTA in USA or Europe.

He'd rather compete with other Pay TV than a have a bunch of FTA to make people consider it worth cancelling.

Yes picked up these two idents yesterday. You need a Digibox now at least (encrypted), Probabily Family pack

What happens when you take out the card JD?

(I'm curious if any "soft encryption" is used).

EKRIUQ

For DW you need your card family pack and up in the digibox but for TVEi it seems to be FTA but these are only tests.:ninja:

Nothing without card, I've got family pack Watty.

Did anyone ever see a channel on $ky labelled 52520 on other channels, don't know the freq but all it is is various moving views of Newcastle. On screen its called gamenation.

Thats what I thought DW and TVE would be. Shame really for all those folks interested in learning German/Spanish but don't want 2nd LNB or Sky Sub.

yes I say that 52520


The only thing I bother with in "Other Channels" now is some of the ITV regions. I have them on my FTA system too and check occasionally -- just in case, but I don't expect them FTA before Autumn 2004.

Somebody said "dis+" was FTA on Sky, but not on my system it isn't. This is separate to other two Discovery channels. Still FTA on 42E.

Last night both of those channels are encrypted with the Card upside down and are of course Free on Hotbird. (a bit like Bloomberg)

Would be an idea to list all the Pay channels on SKY that are FTA on other satellites.
Can't remember if CNN or CNBC is free on 13/19...

BTW: What is the story with SKY Italian on hot bird ?
The promo channels and news are FTA.
Do you need a digi box to view the rest or are they using some other encryption scheme ?

watty

Sky took over two existing operators in Italy.

Over the next year they will change over to Digibox only.... With a Italia Sky card only of course.

Also encrypted channels and got other providers to join that were FTA. Sky is bad for consumers.

The other two operators were loosing money due to piracy. There is Alleged strong evidence points to NDS funded hacking publish of one operator.

As part of the Sale Deal, Canal+ had to drop charges that NDS (Newscorp / Sky) had paid for their and other encryption to be cracked leading to 24% piracy on ITV Digital (Which used a Canal+ system) and over 50% piracy of Italian TV.


Free Channels (almost everywhere) that are Pay ONLY on 28.2/Sky UK/IRL:
Bloomberg UK
Eurosport News
CNBC
Al Jazeera
TV5
TVEi
DW TV
Eurosport *
MTV, MTV2 *

* (These are available FTA in German)

FTA on Hotbird till Sky Italia took over two operators:
Fox News
CNN (Others still FTA)
Sky News ! (Others still FTA)
Alice
SNAI
Leonardo
Nuvolari
DeeJay TV


FTA on Sky, but suggested you need a "package" to get them by Sky Publicitiy:
Almost all Radio (55 channels)
CNN
Euronews
ITV News
QVC
TCM


TCM is unusual as being FTA on Sky and Pay TV everywhere else. Cartoon Network used to be FTA on Digital till Sky Digital Started!
(CNN, Cartoon Network, Boomerang and TCM are the same provider).

The last time I cancelled Sky the operator told me I would lose ALL my channels! (I think the script really meant I would only get Irish TV via the Aerial afterwards and lose all the IRISH channels).

Sky News has a version with Irish Adverts in http://www.lyngsat.com/freetv/index.shtml listed as the ONLY FTA Irish TV.

Lyngsat lists Free TV by country as the stated ORIGIN not destination or satellite. So Click on USA/America to find satellites in Europe with Free USA programs.


52520 "GameNation" is now showing Westminster at Lunchtime with totally unrelated EPG. "Spot the Fake Art"
