they are gone for good now,and it could be said that a semi-reliable pirate television service went to with it. some excellent uncensored programming also.the quality was a form of early digital and given the right equipment was certainly better then existing formats',current digital formats are far from perfect too in many respects.i still watch analogue tv through an aerial free from the puzzle blocks that appear with the "digital future".
also in the past you bought a decoder a card and that was it,today its expensive cams',cards,everyone complaining about support for add ons that can and has disappeared overnight in some cases.
a lot of second hand motorised systems have appeared for sale in recent years since the demise of the scandinavian film services'and many would argue the best years of the motorised dish viewing went with them.
anyone still got there old satpack decoder?.
