    Hi

    I am looking to receive the tv station "cnbc" in an office with no TV connection whatsoever. What is the cheapest and easiest option. There is 10 meg internet connection (o contention) in the office so maybe that can prove useful ?

    Thx

    80cm dish with FTA receiver, you will need to contact CNBC to get permission to show the channel in your office

    They have infomation on there site on how to get CNBC in the office. Basically they can steam it to you over broadband (for a fee).

    According to their web site, the signal is encrypted..

    Then the website is incorrect.

    ...we would simply offer you a viewing licence for your commercial premises, and for UK viewers, a decoder card as the signal is encrypted.

    I wonder if this means you can get a Sky card simply for CNBC (On Astra2)?

    Anyway, it is FTA on Astra 1 on 11.597 Vertical; 22.000 Symbol rate, so presumably you'd just need the licence.

    In fact you need a licence/agreement/royalty payment for ANY free to Air channel for any use other than personal.

    Some channels are "Free to Carry", such as BBC World TV, which means you only need to get written permission (no fee) and you can re-distribute. Most FTA channels outside the home need a fee which is small for a business and larger (much much cheaper than a Pay TV channel) for a Cable Company.

    Does this not apply in theory to any TV or radio station played on a commercial premisses - eg radio music played in a shop(royalties?), TV in a restaurant/takeaway. Is a TV licence sufficient for some of these.
    Obviously Sky are very strict regarding their service but as with any law/rule, does any other enforcement exist in practice?
