[QUOTE="COF, post: 800408, member: 318592"] For example, all the main UK channels are broadcasted FTA on Astra 28.2E, and I don't think there has ever been even a suggestion of encrypting them, it is just considered a given that they are availabile for free all over Europe. However, RTE seem to have gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure no one outside of Ireland will be able to receive Irish TV, even to the point of putting the channels on some obscure satellite using some obscure band that requires some obscure LNB and receiver. They seem obsessed with it to the extent they've even discussed the fine details of whether a few people in WALES will be able to receive THEIR signal. It almost comes across as a bit protectionist, almost as if they're making the statement "These are OUR channels and you foreigners aren't STEALING them". [/QUOTE]
