[Ferdie]

It's much better now! : )

 

[SZGY]

So I decided to jump on the crapbox bandwagon with a wonderful Dr.HD D15! It should be coming in tomorrow. Gotta love cheap thrills.

Can the channels on this sat be opened & viewed on a technomate 1500ci?

Nowai. You need a HD box for this, mate.

 

[woborny]

This system is now becoming quite "popular" in south Portugal /south Spain areas - with "suppliers" "forgetting" to mention anything about codes, possible loss of channels during code changes, and
that they are hacking into encrypted feeds...

This is the Sort of response that seems to be doing the rounds at the moment on some of the Ex-Pat site's

A Con if i ever did read one and hope no one falls into the trap:

Good Morning,
Thank you for your recent email.

The system we are recommending to receive BBC1 HD, BBC2 HD, ITV1 HD, CH4 HD, BBC THREE HD, BBC FOUR, BBC NEWS, BBC PARLIAMENT, BBC ONE WALES, BBC ONE SCOTLAND, BBC ONE NORTHERN IRELAND and all BBC Radio 123456. This part of the system does not use the internet in any way.
We need to install an 80cm Dish aligned to Intelsat 907 at 27.5 degrees the cost for this is 170euros.
We also need to program the box with 5 levels of encryption for this there is a cost of 100 euros.
Further there is only one type of Satellite Receiver that can operate with this system and that is as follows

TECHNOMATE 5402 HD M2 CI
it is available online through amazon or other providers.

Please Note
The service is encrypted and when that encryption is changed the service may be OFF for maybe a week to 10 days until the code is found and programmed into the box.
The code changes approximatly every 3 months.
When this happens you can bring the box to us for a fee of 5 euros or call out to do this is 20 euros.

 

[woborny]

At least they say it can go off when codes change - which is something, as some I have heard are not mentioning this at all!

 

[Lazarus]

And no doubt Auntie's ears are not deaf to what's going on, so that would tend to suggest more robust measures to protect the transmissions could be applied.

The only losers will be the (relatively) innocent punters as they will lose their Channels and there money.

Yep, can't be long now before this "loophole" gets shut down. Heard rumours that cable companies are using this too now. It's a shame these things always turn commercial it gets ruined for everyone...

On a side note though, I find it interesting that British culture is superior when Britain comes to advertising it, yet they're still locking out outsiders to view their TV programs, which are in no doubt is a huge source of culture. I am sorry, but I find this highly hypocritical and arrogant.

As someone from outside the UK thus not paying a subscription fee you may find it arrogant but must be understandable if you are or have been watching for free. I suspect not everyone in the UK who has to pay a license fee in order to watch and finance the productions, would agree with your viewpoint. I have absolutely no idea what you find hypocritical about their stance.

There is no option to pay that fee, and even if there was, what would be the point, now that there is no signal? However, I'd definitely consider paying for the BBC, rather than pay for our crappy services here. As for the hypocritical part, I was referring to the idea of "let's spread the British culture", then when it comes to television, "let's restrict it as much as possible".

Absolutely no con there. It is describes exactly what the situation would be for someone taking such an option. In my opinion it makes it very clear to the customer what they are getting themselves into. The only thing that they have failed to mention is that it is possible that at some point in the future the transmissions will stop completely or the encryption system will change and frankly that looks more like oversight than a deliberate attempt to mislead. Even the pricing looks reasonable to me.

That said, the commercialisation of this may speed up its demise. But it had to happen eventually.

What does 'backup' exactly mean? Are there any terrestrial transmitters in the country actually broadcasting channels from this tp as the main source? Though in that case a consistent delay 0f at least 2-3 seconds would be noticed between the sat broadcast and the Freeview one.

You can use the Duo2 to get these at 27.5 west but you will have to use OpenPLI 4.0 image and Oscamymod there is a very detailed thread about this on the PLI forums

Sorry to be a dork can some on give me a link to this thread as i cannot find it.. I have looked with no look it is probably there right in front of me but i cannot see it..Thanks guys

In a word, no.

i mostly agree with you...not sure about the cultural aspect...but it does seem that overly meticulous measures are taken to prevent signal overspill, and as such, quite unparalleled compared to other european countries.
shame, because the demand is there, so if there was a way, i think a lot of people would be willing to pay for the service. the same way people subscribe to sky from abroad (although that's only semi-legal as well, but at least possible).
i do get it when license payers consider these expats a bunch of freeloaders when it comes to receiving these uk psb's, but this is exactly why marketing and business sense would dictate to find a way and provide the service abroad.
and the likes of "bbc entertainment" and "bbc world" dont fill this gap...

Oh they are definitely using it - I know for certain Gibraltar Cable got their BBC back "by getting the signals off another satellite" after they lost 28E

Ahem - Eurobird 9B.

FOUR spotbeams!

And it goes back to 2002 - Astra 1K was designed with none over lapping spots and frequency reuse between them.......
