It is still FTA in that it was never part of any pay TV package. But there have been no programmes for well over a month, if you are only noticing that now. According to Google the EPG slot still belongs to Nollywood, and they are looking to sell it on.

Harry Palmr · 16-09-2018 12:31pm

Retro was just a place-holder so not a shock, hopefully whoever buy the Nollywood slot will
see there is a bit of a market for old films - Talking Pictures is doing really well now.

Going the way of eleven sports. You have to wonder how many subscribers they will get. There is also the future possibility of these streaming companies being hit with a broadband infrastructure tax. Look at the money netflix is making yet doesn't contribute a penny towards the infrastructure it runs on.

...

Not sure if you are trolling or if you work for an ISP, but I wonder if you have heard of something called "net neutrality" as defined in Europe under Article 3 of EU Regulation 2015/2120. So called "broadband infrastructure tax" is a non-starter in Europe thankfully and any attempt to introduce such an awful thing will be challenged and defeated in Brussels.

Maybe you also think Toyota/Ford/Audi etc. should contribute towards our road infrastructure costs, which we already pay for through road tax and general taxation (and tolls).

What about the major users of spectrum in Ireland Pablo. Are they paying enough. I was quite surprised that the levy on ECNs and ECs is 0.2 per cent of relevant turnover. In other words feck all.

The annual spectrum usage fee for each spectrum block in the 800MHz and 900MHz bands is €1.08 million and 0.5m for the 1,800MHz band.

Then the 700meg band was also cleared. Are we collecting enough and where is the money going ?

.

If the OP is trolling the proper action is to report the post. If you actually think the OP works for an ISP you need to produce evidence a bit stronger than his raising the possiblity of a particular taxation policy in future. Either way you can take a warning.

I am sorry that I seem to have broken some rule. I am not sure what rule, but warning noted.

I don't know enough about that to have an opinion. But spectrum licence fees are not really related to net neutrality.

Freesat just seems to be getting better and better by the year - I have it now and got my mother it and we would never go back to sky or virgin - I think if your not into sports a combo of freesat saorview and Netflix is the ticket - also got a smart TV that has NOWTV that if I want to dip in and out I can ... happy days ðŸ‘

Ye I have them set up on a fta receiver.

Also read that Freesat has lost more music channels, the only two remaining will be Vault and the Country channel

dublinman1990 · 10-10-2018 7:54pm

BBC Two Wales HD & BBC Two NI HD are to go live from the 29th of November.

https://www.a516digital.com/2018/10/more-from-bbc-in-hd-for-wales-and-ni.html

I'm not sure what this means for Sky & Freesat viewers here. Will they receive those channels from this date?

Also BBC Two Scotland will be replaced with BBC Scotland in SD & HD afterwards.

Tigerandahalf · 11-10-2018 7:35pm

I see CBS on demand is coming to freeview.
Perhaps there is also a possibility it will come to freesat. Catchup/on demand seems to be the future for a lot of channels.

If you put in Wales or NI post code they will be in the 102 slot on Freesat.

They've never been confirmed for satellite is what they're getting at

Harry Palmr · 18-10-2018 4:22pm

Vintage TV has closed it's doors except as a streamer - the TV company side is up for sale.
Strange that they gave up the EPGs so quickly - either they really had no money at all or someone was not thinking straight.

BBC Two Wales HD is now confirmed for satellite from the 29th of November.

A test card is now up in the same frequency as BBC Two England HD, BBC One HD, BBC One NI HD & CBBC HD.

BBC Two Wales HD

10847 V 23000 SID 6912.

However; BBC Two Northern Ireland HD is not confirmed on this date for satellite. It will only be available for now on Freeview, Youview & BBC iPlayer from the 29th of November with VM carriage being confirmed soon. The reason for not going HD yet on satellite is a lack of available capacity for the other BBC English Regions in HD.

BBC Scotland has got an official launch date. It will go live from the 24th of February 2019 by replacing BBC Two Scotland.

Can't believe Scuzz is going, it's one of the main reasons I got fta satellite in! The only channel that continuously pushed new bands into the scene, kerrang very one dimensional compared to it. Sad times

Interesting HD tests on 11171 H 22000 5/6 QPSK Sid 51110
Rumoured to possibly be The Smithsonian Channel

Harry Palmr · 10-11-2018 12:18am

Seems a strange one to arrive if it does, there's been no warm up tweets from the Smithsonian or any platform - it's hardly going to be some wandering FTA channel given it's origins.

Gerry Wicklow · 10-11-2018 1:08am

Seemingly Ofcom have issued a licence for a Smithsonian channel and the content seems to match.

Thanks for the head's-up.

Watching it now, Drone Cam over Ireland is on. Lovely HD and using the codec my box seems to prefer - the one that Channel 4/5 uses.

Since Sony also own Scuzz, I wonder will they close any other channels? Time will tell, I guess.
