Does anyone know which satellite and system will be needed to receive the feed(s) of Horse & Country not intended for the UK?

I ask for two reasons. My cousin watches this channel on Sky, but it's closing on there in a couple of weeks. AIUI, it's also broadcast internationally in English, so she's thinking of having her own set up in her bedroom if she can.

Unfortunately, she's not in a Virgin Media area (and there's some confusion as to whether it's staying on VM or not). If it is staying on VM, i'm curious as to how they will obtain a feed of it as they usually get their SD feeds from Astra.

Its available as a scrambled channel on 1W You will need a VERY expensive subscription to watch it this way! :D

Best way to continue is probably just to set a laptop up to a tv with a suitable hdmi connection to the tv, or just use your tablet / computer to watch the webstream

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Just to clarify, is this H&C channel available online for free until end of January, then £6 a month thereafter, or is the H&C free channel available after that gratis, with subscription for the additional bits ?

As far as I can tell its free for the basic service but if you want all the bells & whistles & ponies you have to pony up another sick squid
