[QUOTE="easysat, post: 17489, member: 175305"] There was a similar debate about encryption when ITV was deciding whether to join the Sky platform. I found a post dated 7 Nov 2001 on alt.satellite.tv.europe (search for "easysat" and "ITV" on groups.google.com) which makes the same points : the rest of Europe isn't really that interested in watching English language programs and countries like the Netherlands, Belgium, Irish Republic can already get UK terrestrial channels on cable TV or directly with a high-powered TV aerial, most people won't want a multi-satellite system to get their local channels as well as 28°E. As for the BBC, I presume that the switch to Astra 2D will go ahead even if Sky has a last minute change of heart about the cost of encryption services. So viewers in Greece, etc will lose the BBC whatever happens. [/QUOTE]
