It's the glorious tenth, and the BBC signal is still encrypted.

Strangely, meanwhile the BBC World digital signal on Astra 1 seems to
have gone FTA

Surely BBC World always was FTA?

The analogue one is.

The digital one is encrypted as part of various packages, but is
sometimes FTA for periods of a few days.


Always FTA analog & digital on Hotbird. Also FTA digital on 1-west.

Still encrypted here

: Emmmmm - what do you base this statement on????? I have tried both an
: English Sky card and a NI FTV card and all channels are still the same
: status, ie, encrypted.

Not *ALL* the channels! The English BBC1 regions (which are not yet in the
EPG but which can be accessed through "Other Channels") have, according
to www.digitalspy.co.uk, become FTA.
The others are expected to follow later.

I've removed my card and BBC1 & 2 are in the clear, but where are the other
BBC1 regions?

Accessible by "Other Channels" only until 29th July! They will then appear
in the EPG and, for STBs with a Sky smartcard, Sky will reprogramme the
channel mapping so that 101 becomes "local BBC1 region"

They didn't say 10th for "other regions"!
