Its Eurobird S1 beam. No use for us in the Canaries but the Guys in Greece should be happy.

Thanks for the Info.

Ok, sorry I don't know how to tell which beam frequencies are on.

I programmed E4 Ireland in last year and More4 wasn't available at that time so I think it's a fairly recent addition.

You boys can get 2D down there with modest size dishes though, eh?

One of the installers I know tried with a 3m dish here with no success, even though similar size dishes seem to be getting it fine in Cyprus which is a good bit further east.

Can anyone explain the encryption ? Shouldn't a freesat card do the trick in a digibox ?
Also, the "encryption" message that comes up once the channel is selected discusses BBC1 and 2 respectively for E4... !?
or is it HD ?
or am I just cosnufed ?

More 4 is part of the basic package so a free card will not open it.

The thing about it showing bbc info etc is quite normal when using some of the added channels.

I thought more4 was Channel 4 stuff . Lyngsat gives it as "F" which stands for Free doesn't it ?

EDIT :
hmmm from the channel 4 more4 page :

<<It's included in the basic channel package through subscription on Sky and Virgin Media. If you have a digital box that receives Freeview, you can watch More4 for free without subscription.>>

I guess the keyword is Freeview and not yet Freesat ?

Shame

With my original Solus FTV card it's gone back to "No Satellite Received" message again. Wonder why it doesn't ask me to upgrade?

More 4 UK went fta at the beginning of May. You can find it on Astra 2D 10729V 22000 5/6

The (encrypted) Irish version started up at the same time.

Yes but the point is that I was able to view More 4 and E4 using this FTV card previously. Prior to that, around the time they were changing to FTA, it was giving a "No satellite signal" message for a week or two and prior to that it was asking me to upgrade.

I can't give precise dates because I mostly use my Freeview PVR for viewing.
