Interesting - have a look at the TCM FTA on 19.2 E Thread: We were just speculating on how long it would remain FTA when it suddenly encrypted at the start of the four o'clock film!

I shall toddle downstairs and see if it's gone clear again...................................




............(out of breath.....) Yup, FTA again - perhaps it was a Rights issue with "The Philadelphia Story".

I should be honoured if you would update the other Thread.

Edit: Done it, with due credit given

Can you please post Frequency, SR etc to save everyone looking them up?

Edit: Would that be 11651 V 12627 or 11669 V 16000?

I assume because they are showing the Olympics (which is probably the reason why DAD-5 is BISS again) and show some American programming.

Actually CBC can be available here (like AFN or CBS) and they are encrypted in either Irdeto1 or viaccess1...

It's just a feed as earlier there were testcards...

Ok

Can't get a sniff of a signal anyway! Might be off air for a bit, I suppose.

It's still there, although it's a weak signal for the Atlantic Birds...

TV2GO#1 Signal 84% Quality 58% - stable signal
TV2GP#2 Signal 83% Quality 52% - stable signal.

Generally for my receiver anything less than 40% breaks up.

Good Thread, this - does anyone agree that it might make a good "Sticky"?
