[QUOTE="RichardCoulter, post: 1081944, member: 387551"] This site says that TBN wasn't originally encrypted, but now is. I can't see any rights issues for a channel showing religious programming, perhaps the BBC didn't want to effectively provide them with free extra satellite coverage? [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.astra2sat.com/technical/reception-of-british-tv-radio-overseas/bbc-satback/[/URL] It also says that STV & UTV are present, but not viewable. Does anyone know why not? It says that they are listed as data channels, but so are all the rest! I'm assuming that as the channels are configured for the Freeview transmitters, that they are classed as data streams rather than normal satellite channels. Also, does anyone know what the non radio data feeds (at the bottom) are used for? Fat CSI, 301, 302 and 'SIPSI In-band configurations'. A search for SIPSI says something non satellite related in connection with French employees! [/QUOTE]
