Another Russian provider bites the dust. Soon it will be just 36e packages left...

 

[solly]

also tricolor also left from 36e ?

 

[Captain Jack]

I don't think so. It's a very successful package.

No Solly, nothing happens with Tricolor. Sometimes, English is a confusing language...

For those in UK who can't receive the (now FTA) Rikor transponders on 60° East...
The much stronger, similar Rikor transponders on 62° East are also FTA now!
11555 H 28900 DVB-S2 8PSK 3/4: Channel-01 thru Channel-24
11595 H 31002 DVB-S QPSK 7/8: Channel-25 thru Channel-40

[Captain Jack]

Oh I checked 62e the other day and they were all encrypted. Thanks for the heads up! Doubt it will last long..

Well it was encrypted in Verimatrix, which suggests cable distribution, though according to Russian forums it has no relation to Rikor. I guess with Rikor closing, cable headends need another source for the channels. Nice package nevertheless. I would happily pay a proper sub for it, if it was available.

 

[hvdh]

Today, the 40 channels on 62°E are encrypted again.
On 60°E, all is still FTA but about half of the channels is showing colour bars, some of them still with the TV channel's sound in the background.
End is coming...

 

[Captain Jack]

Dislike... Not that I could receive 60e, but 62e is booming in.

 

[solly]
