[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 17019, member: 175089"] I absolutely agree with you George. Oh, yes, a BSKYB box (made like any other DVB-S box) and with an operational CAM slot/payment slot. Its very "I have a dream" though - isn't it. :confused: I know that this next part goes slightly against your post, but, many UK copyright issues were resolved (to the best of Astra's ability) with the deployment of Astra 2D. As such, and for the sake of the argument, much anally contencious copyrighted (and usually american) content is now broadcast on that bird. I have noticed that many a broadcaster has switched-over and or started using Astra 2D. Suggesting to me a certain level of "market/region control" by anyone who uses it. Whatever, if only we could all speak German as a first or second language - none of this "control" issue nonsense would be of any relevance. I speak of content, but, the same equally applies in the context of your post. But, the question has to be why this is not an issue in Germany but it is the UK? I say this because, in Germany, a Hollywood film incurs extra costs for its local market - yet, the same Hollywood folks make it incredibly difficult for me to watch the same film (in its original language) in a German market. :confused: :confused: Anyone with me still? Catch 22: back to George's post ;) Have Fun, Mark [/QUOTE]
