[QUOTE="Adam792, post: 1151082, member: 330868"] I think in this case one of the driving issues must be Eutelsat 5WB with its fault meaning that its capacity has always been very limited. In NW Europe we’ve already lost a lot of the free Italian TV because of this after it moved to the 9°E Italian beam. It’s desirable for them to have a solution where they only need a single transponder to feed both Fransat subscribers (with Viaccess) and the terrestrial transmitters that will transmit the DVB-T2 version (without encryption). The cost saving of one transponder rather than two probably compensates for the extra costs of DVB-SIS and descrambling equipment needed at each terrestrial transmitter site sadly :( Hopefully the other stuff won’t change, I’m hopeful because there are lots of DVB-T transmitters that would need upgrading, whereas this new DVB-T2 multiplex is an entirely new deployment, allowing them to use this new method more easily.
