A real shame about Trace Tropical.
Thought it was a transponder move,but a network scan,reveals its gone for now.

They go FTA for a couple of hours every day.

Setanta Ireland and Setanta 1 are currently FTA on Eurobird 1 (11681 V 27500). They are labelled as 51111 and 51112 so could be a transponder move. The encryption flag is set but they are in the clear. Showing Rugby 7s and F1 qualifying at the moment.

As is Premier Sports Irish,on the same transponder and labelled 51113 and 51115.

Still FTA... enjoy it while you can

Something restful with my morning coffee :sleep:

Yup as I mentioned on the $ky weekly update.

Good to see the comparison between Setanta and the awful quality MSK (Premier sports). To think, they are one in the same.


Seems as though a few of the Irish ones are on the move with that lot. Also Newstalk (radio) is shown as 51114 on the same transponder.

FOX Serbia currently FTA

Although still listed as clear, the encrypted flag is now on accompanied by a blank screen

Pity this bouquet is for SA just wondering why they are downlinking to Europe on 23.5E

Choose your theory:

1) Its an additional failsafe for the World Cup backhaul into Europe. You cant have too many alternative circuits for something as important as this

2) Its the first leg in a double bounce onto Sirius 4 for retransmission on the S4 African beam

I suspect its number 1) myself.

Why uplink the whole Top TV package and not just the ones with SABC?

When did DeeJay TV go back to FTA???

A year?

Been back for a while now - too much chat - not enough music :yawn:

It didn't really go back FTA.

Former DeejayTV is still encrypted within Sky Italia, but it changed its name to "MyDeejay". At the same time they launched a new FTA channel under the name of "Deejay TV", which replaced "AllMusic".
AllMusic was a 24-hour music channel, broadcast nation-wide in Italy on aerial, which used to be shopping channel "ReteA" until 1997.
MTV Italia launched in 1997 on satellite and terrestrial (aerial).
On terrestrial (aerial) MTV leased 23 hours a day on ReteA, until 2001, when MTV replaced TMC2 (formerly Videomusic) and took its frequencies and library.
In 2001 ReteA turned into the Italian version of German channel VIVA, but not even one year later the project was dismissed and the channel became AllMusic.
