I wonder how long SFR Sport will be allowed to show it seeing how easy it is to receive 5W in the UK?!

Very interesting, even with a spot beam there will be over-spill to the UK. Its also one of the cheaper packages out there, only 10 euro a month. Viasat Denmark is 80 euro a month....

Just to clarify all PL games shown on SFR Sport 1 are shown on SFR Sport 4K aswell but only the 4 games listed above are shown in 4K. I think its the only 4K channel that doesn't show 4K content.

Probably until the launch of Eutelsat 5WB with it's tight spot beams similar to Eutelsat 9B EUTELSAT 5 West B - Future Satellites - Eutelsat

Launch of Eutelsat 5 West B 5° West Q4 2018 or Q1 2019

Do you have footprint maps?

No coverage maps issued so far for Eutelsat 5 West B reading this:-
Eutelsat selects Airbus Defence and Space and Orbital ATK to build replacement video satellite for 5° West neighbourhood

New digital infrastructure for France, Italy and Algeria
This would seem to suggest that they will adopt spot beams similar to Eutelsat 9B @ 9east
Launch to take place in the 1st Qtr 2018 so we will know by the 2nd Qtr 2018 if we will loose the Multi-Streams ect from 5 west.

Us Southerners are likely to be OK even with small dishes. Those further north may see something different. These beams would seem to be quite close together, so I guess there won't be any frequency reuse, unlike with 9B...

Every coin has two sides. Once the "secret" of MIS reception was widespread, the providers should do something to "protect" their content as coding is out of the question for these types of transmissions and the way they are utilized. Oh well... I hope I'll still receive the Italians but I'll dearly miss the French if the beams turn out to be that tight.
