[QUOTE="steeviebops, post: 1082470, member: 414368"] I found an answer to my question thanks to archive.org. Lyngsat only goes back to 1998 but Satcodx goes back to late 1996 (were they the same thing - I know Christian Lyngemark was involved in both?). For a couple of months around May 1997, FilmNet converted back to PAL before closing altogether in July. Bloomberg UK took its place. The time would add up as we would have bought the receiver around May or June. [URL unfurl="true"]https://web.archive.org/web/19970606132839/http://www.satcodx.com:80/astra.html[/URL] The snapshot from January 1997 shows it as D2-MAC/Eurocrypt M but the one above from June 1997 shows PAL encrypted (but doesn't state the type). It definitely looked like Eurocrypt though. It's really interesting to look back on these old charts. I always remembered transponder 56 having nothing in those days - I now know it was used for digital! [/QUOTE]
