My System: TM6800HD, TM1000, TM600 Linux,TM5200, TM2200 motor, Triax TD110 dish + Fortec 85cm. Meter=Satlook Micro+G2 NIT | Hi, Very easily. You just need a free to air Digital satellite receiver and and a satellite dish pointed at hotbird. I will check in a moment, to see if they are there right now. Robbo EDIT: They are not free to air channels, they are encrypted in Viaccess. The video is in the clear but they have scrambled the audio. A banner at the bottom of screen says to subscribe call 020 8552 1211 for details. ( For Kairali and Amrita). The Asianet channel also has audio encrypted but clear video. In which case you would need a receiver with an embedded viacess CAM, or a receiver with a CAM slot and a viaacces CAM, and a subscription card from the provider. | ||

| This is a new gimmick, haven't seen it before. Giving free video but encrypted audio. Why can't they do this for the adult channels. I can do without the audio.  | ||
