BBC free to air on Astra 2D as of today
From
http://radio.weblogs.com/0121781/ 10 July 2003 Over the past few hours the BBC has been removing encryption from its digital TV services broadcast on the Astra 2D satellite. The process began at 0400 UTC and is expected to be completed within the next couple of hours. This means that, for the first time, TV viewers within the footprint of the Astra 2D satellite can view BBC transmissions on any satellite receiver without the need for a viewing card and Sky digibox. The full range of BBC regional variations is available. The full list of stations and settings is: 10773 H SR 22000 FEC 5/6 BBC One England BBC Two England BBC News 24 BBC Four CBBC CBeebies BBC Three BBC One Northern Ireland 10788 V SR 22000 FEC 5/6 BBC One West Midlands BBC One North West BBC One East Yorkshire & Lincolnshire BBC One Yorkshire & North Midlands BBC One East Midlands BBC One East England 10803 H SR 22000 FEC 5/6 BBC One Wales BBC Two Wales BBC One Scotland BBC Two Scotland BBC Two Northern Ireland 10818 V SR 22000 FEC 5/6 BBC One West England BBC One South East BBC One South England BBC One South West BBC One North East & Cumbria BBC One Oxford 10847 V SR 22000 FEC 5/6 BBC One Cambridge Ray Woodward in the UK also reports that BBCi (the Interactive service) can also be seen via Free To Air receivers (10.847GHz V and 12.441 GHz V). BBCi is "hidden" from the Sky Digibox "Add Channels" facility. On a Digibox the service is accessed automatically by pressing the red button on the remote when tuned to a BBC channel.

I'm saying it's great, but I'm a Sky subscriber, but I can now watch Yorkshire local news on BBC1. Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
