Sorry guys, I've had to post this at work as I am unable to check myself.

A friend has asked if I can record a programme this evening which is being shown on France 2 HD, but I believe the channel is encrypted on 13E. I recall France 2 being available in the clear on 5W and wondered if it were still the case? Is the channel multistream or can it be picked up by any receiver, such as my Vu+ Zero?

Only in multistream, so not available with a regular receiver.

I’m guessing you’re after Destination Eurovision? I can record it from the multistream.
