Sky Box office FTA on non skyboxes atm

Aquos76 · 2006-08-16 20:32:10

Since yesterday after, maybe sooner, but I only found them then, Sky box office channels are FTA on 12090 V 27500. There are 14 channels there with 10 of these being FTA. Enjoy in while it lasts.

A satellite reciever/decoder box that isnt a Sky Digibox, i.e people who have an independent satellite dish setup.

ATM = shorthand for at the moment

Well the Sky Digibox only does what it is told.

A non-Sky digital reciever can be tuned differently and will display any un-encrypted channel even if it would look for card on Sky box or have an Encrypted flag.

Often at the start a Box office film may be un-encrypted, and if fully in the clear, only for short periods. It isn't really worth tuning in the Sky UK or Sky Italia "Box office" channels on non-Sky satellite receiver.
