    Is the german bundesliga on the al jazeera sports card

    no I don't think so but I think that the German matches are free to air somewhere maybe on 26 east but I'm open to correction.

    Dubai Sport 26E. Their rights agreement is up after this season afaik, so maybe JSC will try and nab them.

    I asked about extra champions league channels quoted on their site, possibility of hd channel on hotbird and on jsc sport 9+10 only allowing subs till December. This was his response.

    "Yes Al Jazeera will be showing the Champions League games

    Currently the channel 9 and 10 will only last till end of this year unsure what are Al Jazeera plans after that.

    There are currently no plans for HD channel on Hotbird"

    Conspicuous avoidance of answer on their quote of extra channels.

    And theyll still let ya pay €30 for a years sub to those 2 channels? I hope not.
    Although can't say I've had any difficulty with tech digital so benifit of the doubt here.

    I think the Swiss league coverage is new on JSC too! (Young Boys v Basel on +5 now)

    Really happy about that :)

    Well lads,

    Got my own Al Jazeera Card +1 to +10 the other day am very pleased with it. It is the new Viaccess 4.0 encryption. I noticed that sometimes when flicking thru channels it says "Scrambled" even though the card is in the box and the only way around it it seems, is to quickly press CH + and CH -. It can get annoying espec when going to record using PVR.

    Has anyone experianced this with the new card? Or is it a fault with my box? (Doubting it though)

    Funny enough, I was looking at the JSC card on TVCorner, and they state the same, regarding +9 and +10 only available until end of the year...

    WOnder if 9 and 10 are being removed for their new coverage of French football?

    Its not getting any better anyway. Maybe when they get rid of +9 and +10. The PQ will improve a bit.

    This must be the first game I have watched SD in about 18 months.

    The difference is ridiculous - feels like my eyes are being tortured!

    Whats the craic with JSC World cup still on there 12 months later?

    Is the English championship available on Al Jazeera? I thought I read somewhere that it is, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned on the sites I have checked.

    I am going to have to get so. I have a Ferguson Ariva HD 200 Combo that I am using for Cyfra+ - will this work for Al Jazeera? I guess I will have to swap the card in and out as needed? Also, will the Al Jazeera card have the same entitlements issue as Cyfra (I have to call Satsklep every 3 months to send an activation coðe).

    The Ferguson Ariva HD 200 Combo has a card reader and cam slot. The card reader should read cyfra and get cam for reading Al Jazeera in cam slot or visa versa.

    As regards Cyfra+ entitlements, there is a polish channel you should tune to every so often to update entitlements. Cant remember which channel, but someone else here surely knows...

    Thanks for the reply. If I want to take the cheap option, will the card slot work for both cards if I swap them when needed? I am guessing yes as you mentioned vice versa in your response.

    What are your prices for Al Jazeera renewals?

    I've got a couple of emails yesterday from different suppliers who i've previously used for Al Jazeera renewals. Both companies were offering reductions on 1 to 10 renewals.

    I'll take it that this means that Al Jazeera has now changed its mind about taking down +9 and +10?

    I hadn't taken out 9-10 this year, given that we were previously told they'd be gone by January 2012. I was also hoping that the removal would mean better quality on the remaining channels, or a HD channel, or ESPN/NBA.
