They appear to be completely fta. According to a post on the forum fb wall there are problems with the encryptions for Dutch & Belgian channels.

So why scan them in in the first place? Shirley you can filter by FTA when scanning?

Some of these have re-encrypted, but others remain FTA, including the French-speaking Belgian RTBF channels. It's been a good few days now. :D
