Last night I came across a hilarious show on a Hungarian channel on Viasat3, 5E at 12380H 27500, called Naked and Funny. It was on around 8-9 p.m. Cyprus time. Basically it was a naughty version of candid camera :-rofl2 Excellent :)

Just done a complete blind scan of the Hotbirds and this channel came up as Channel 24 of the list using my Manhattan Plaza ST100.

What an odd but entrertaining channel it is too. It seems to be a low-budget station from Senegal on the west coast of Africa. The picture is okay and the sound is fine so no complaints there!

I have a pretty wide musical taste and this channel seems to split its airtime between african and rap styles of music, football (soccer) and rather entertaining fistycuff/wrestling matches.

Well, it's kept me entertained this evening! No repeats so far either. :)

The channel can be found Free To Air on Hotbird (13 East)
Frequency: 12693
Polarization: Horizontal
Symbol Rate: 27500
FEC: 3/4
VPID: 180
APID: 186

Aye, I realised this later on - --after my post....*but* I don't think anyone had given it a description so I don't think I wasted my time (this time!!)

I've still got it on. Can't speak French (that's what language people speak in Senegal I think.) but enjoying it just the same.
