We sell Sky digiboxes all over Europe and are eagerly awaiting the resolution of whether or not the BBC is going to stay on the southern satellites.
I have been told told by one of my English dealers in Greece that he had rang Sky and told them that he had a Sky Contract in the UK and that he took his box to Greece with him to watch Sky TV.
The answer was very interesting. He was told that if he had Sky contract that he would still get the BBC content after May the 29th. If he did not have a Sky contract he would not be able to watch BBC on the same size dish as he now uses.
We have followed this up by phoning ourselves quite a few times and the Telephone operatives and Supervisors we have asked are quite strongly of the opinion that this is the case.
Seven out of Eight said yes to the BBC still being on 2a and 2b after May 29th
The other one ( Who was very knowledgable ) said that the BBC and Sky are in talks at a very high level but it was looking highly likely that the BBC will remain on Astra 2a and b.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
