Your terminology of FTA is different from what it means to us
FTA= Free To Air channels, meaning channels that are NOT encrypted.
Hot Bird has hundred of FTA channels, mostly not that exciting, unless one subscribes to a certain package.
I am not sure if there are any channels on hot Bird that show hockey, but try checking the Swiss package SRG. They have a sport channel and they might show hokey now and then. But you need a subscription, which is not easy to get.
If you miss the programs that much, ask someone from home to record on DVD and to send you by express post. |
