Not on the sky system, possibly on other satellites. You need the Family pack to get it on the sky system.

I wouldn't bother with it... Personally, I find Comedy Central to be a better source of current affairs than Fox News...

It used be according to this from 3 years ago... but this may have changed.

Having had a look at lyngsat it may be available on panamsat but is encrypted there.

I notice the much better CNN headline news is available there still now in digital and FTA( I think)

I used to pick that up in analog from panamsat with a 1.5 metre dish here in wicklow a few years ago.
The dish was at the furthest west point that the actuator would allow it to go for that.
T'was a great channel to have,I miss it

( I'll see it next week tho when I'm back in new york )

On February 14, a Florida Appeals court ruled there is absolutely nothing illegal about lying, concealing or distorting information by a major press organization. The court reversed the $425,000 jury verdict in favor of journalist Jane Akre who charged she was pressured by Fox Television management and lawyers to air what she knew and documented to be false information. The ruling basically declares it is technically not against any law, rule, or regulation to deliberately lie or distort the news on a television broadcast.
