Does anyone remember when they started this business of barring FTA channels on satellite from broadcasting any live games from the World Cup (or the European Cup)?
I remember during EURO 96 and WC 1998 at least, I had no problem watching the games on satellite (unencrypted) on both ARD and ZDF and some other channels (RAI, TVE, France etc).
Oh, and by the way, do those bans on broadcasting also include games which have been recorded and are shown later that same day (or even the day after). |
