[QUOTE="skyoutUK, post: 22457, member: 175732"] Digital Spy reports that BBC reached agreement with bskyb, for next 5 years regional variations will be available with sky card on 101 & 102 with solus card 101 will be BBC One London and 102 BBC Two England while other regions will be on EPG Unencrypted transmission starts according to DS on Thursday July 10th. So millions of Europeans will have free BBC while we outside Astra 2D footprint will be left out. I find it amazing that BBC restricts access as much as they can while other national broadcasters strive to cover as wide area as possible best example is ARD and ZDF they are simulcast on Astra and Hot Bird to cover not only whole of Europe but north Africa and middle east as well and they transmit FTA full national service "as is" in Germany. Many smaller countries that encrypt their national channels make them legally available from anywhere in Europe yet we are convinced that national BBC is not meant for us outside UK. BBC Prime and World are poor substitutes for "regular" BBC. I just wait for first lawsuit filed by Americans for breach of copyright contract. [/QUOTE]
