[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 21586, member: 176074"] Hello to all :) "The United States of Europe", nice joke :P I'd really like to see that one day there will be a law which can let us see in whole Europe (from the Canaries to the Ural and from Iceland to Cyprus) with small dishes, let'S say 60cm inside a paneuropean footprint like the Hotbird Widebeams, all the channels of each country for free. No big dishes for european channels anymore and no encryption systems like Videoguard that don't even let you choose the receiver you like. It's a shame that one needs a second subscription so that you can see a channel and record another the same time, and if your children want to watch something else on their TV, a 3rd subscription ? No folks. I am glad that the Topfield 5000 PVR let'S you watch 2 programs the same time and record a 3rd one with 1 subscription card. The problem is, it doesn't work with Sky Digital because there is no existing Videoguard CAM )(-red Ok back to reality: Sky Digital chose Videoguard, Viasat Sweden is also going to switch to it, Italian Stream uses Videoguard and Yes (Israel) has also chosen Videoguard. Concerning the narrow beams: There is not only Astra 2D using it, but have a look at the Nordic beams of Sirius 2/3 and Thor 2. Spain would also have a national beam on the lost Astra 1K. The conclusion is that it'S just the beginning of the whole story, i don'T hope so either. Some things, that must have been said. Long live the small dishes for normal TV consumption and the bigger motorized ones for the DXers ;) Greetings, Chris [/QUOTE]
