My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

Yes, some regions are not on Astra 2D (the satellite with the restricted beam), as there was not enough space, so they have encrypted those regions. There is a long thread about it in the Freesat section.

My System: Sky UK. FTA analogue & digital satellite from 5 fixed dishes (5E/7E/9E/13E/16E /19E/23E/28E) Pace MSS100, Echostar IP3000VA, Technomate TM-1000D, Dreambox 7020S

The ftv only affects half a dozen sub regions. ITV have had to give up one of their Astra 2D frequencies and the affected channels have had to go ftv.
