20 channels (Incl.4 HD channels) were transmitting FTA on Intelsat 907 (27.5W) last week. Now they seem to have disappeared. Does anybody have some knowledge about this, and able to cast some light on a possible return??
All channels went through loud and clear in Southern Portugal, so they are dearly missed.....
If you mean the BBC channels on 11495 freq they are encrypted BISS according to KOS update of 14/12-11

Grateful for any assistance you may be able to provide.
Intelsat is providing space segment capacity to Arqiva as part of its multi-platform distribution system for the BBC’s digital channels. Arqiva has been named as the preferred supplier for the BBC’s transmission services after analogue switchover, though the operator is also in the process of acquiring the BBC’s existing provider NGW.
Intelsat’s IS-907 satellite at 27.5 degrees West will take a similar role to that used by Telstar 12 (15 degrees West) for Arqiva’s distribution of Five. Arqiva will use IS-907 to feed the signal to 90 main transmitter sites around the UK. The signal is likely to be encrypted to restrict reception of the feed to Arqiva itself.
???? where are the analogue channels on this bird ????Quote:

What is the point of encrypting channels that are fta on another satellite, the beeb seems to waste too much of our money !
Probably so that folk like the OP, seemingly based in Southern Portugal and like ourselves here in certain parts of España, cannot clear the channels....the footprint of 27.5ºW is easy to receive whereas Astra 2D (carrying BBC & ITV services) is a known and difficult bird to capture with smaller than a 2.4m dish. We have obviously gained a little with the start of Astra 1N, ITV and Channel 5 etc.Quote:
