[QUOTE="deepbluesky, post: 964381, member: 176074"] I can understand your disappointment. We here have the same problems with newer satellites that aim the MidEast and Northern Africa. As for Kabelkiosk these are intended just for cable operators and not for DTH reception. I expect that the access over cs will cease one day. Obviously they favour the satellite feeding over the German spotbeams instead of fibre which Kabel Deutschland chose some years ago. Before it was active on the very sharp edged and low powered Astra 3A beam similar to what Kabelkiosk now is transmitting from. So in future as intended only customers of cable networks that offer the package and pay extra money for it will be able to watch it. OTE TV also has decided to decrease its coverage. The so called Greece beam at the very first publishing of Eutelsat 9B footprints was so small that they wanted it extended to countries where many Greeks live and bring their OTE TV subscriptions with them from Greece. Now in times where many leave the country OTE TV would lose lots of their subscribers. I also would have preferred that they would use the Wide Beam because there are quite some in Scandinavia and the Emirates located as well but maybe this way they can improve the service and to be clear it is officially intended just for Greece. You cannot subscribe if you don't have a greek address and if I am not wrong also a greek bank account and fiscal ID is needed. Maybe now IPTV services offering these and more packages will spread and get better. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
