[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 11379, member: 175144"] Thats depressing indeed, but I have to make a ray or two of sunshine appear among the clouds 1) The number of channels is increasing. Big broadcast providers have always been there, the smaller ones appear and then get either become big, get clobbered or get amalgamated into the larger ones These are the saviours of hope as they will undoubtedly use a less secure system to start up (Showtime on 16 East for example) 2) The general number of language specific broadcasts also increases. The type of programme content will be spread on more than one satellite. If its not on one then its almost certainly somewhere on a less secure or at least more equipment specific satellite (dish size, frequency, broadcast format etc etc). If its up there the enthusiasts will be able to get it. 3) New ways of distribution When has satellite ever been the only format, its on this site but then so is DTT and talk of PC Card evolution is not unheard of. I believe within ten years or so choice wont be limited to TV by LNB alone, by then both the Internet and local distibution by phone mast networking will be rife enough to give those that want it the choice.
