Question about E4 and live Big Brother

[Saturlight]

Hi, I hope this message doesn't get pulled because I am not deliberately causing trouble, BUT...

Why the heck can't I see free E4 and free E4 24/7 Big Brother feed with my Humax receiver? :mad: So annoying. These channels are not part of a Sky package, yet Sky block them. You can see them without a Sky package if you have a Sky box.

Is there any way with my Dragon cam I can watch E4 and the E4 live BB feed. Is there a way to over-ride their block?

I am not interested in 'cracking' Sky, I have no interest in their programming. All I want to see is see a service which is FREE ANYWAY.

Thanks, m8s.

E4 is covered by an encryption contract which doesnt expire until later this year. Sky do not BLOCK them in any way shape or form - but they do enforce the contract that the C4 lawyers happily signed a few years back,. So blame C4 not Sky

And no theres no way whatsoever to override any sort of Sky UK encryption - and I hope the encryption is never compromised as I guarantee all forums would cave in under the weight of "tell me how to get free sky football" posts.

But I could watch it with a 2nd-hand Sky box and no subscription?

I await your kindly reply.

Not at the moment no - its subscription only. As for 6 months hence well C4 have expressed an interest in taking all their channels fta, but that would probably depend on sufficient capacity being free up on Astra 2D.

Thanks, m8.

Jeez, talk about strangle holds. I'll get a Virgin box then. ;) Thanks again.

E4 was never free as far as I know
