[QUOTE="archive10, post: 759169"] Perhaps it's worth making it very clear: There are no free vs encrypted versions of BBC, ITV etc. They are all broadcast un-encrypted on Astra 2D. If you want these channels, you need a bigger dish. Period. No covert encrypted versions exist. What your receiver sees may be the *announcement* of such channels, e.g. in the Sky NIT/PMT, but that's like looking in the phone book for number in China when you can't call abroad. You can see that something should be there, but you have no way of reaching it. When your receiver can't get the signal, it displays the $ sign. But it's not because it's encrypted, it's just not there. Sorry, but dish size is king. [/QUOTE]
