Dr.Dish: The package is allready on transponder 46 (EUTELSAT IIF1), but you 
will need a MPEG-receiver in order to see anything. In our last sat-tv show 
we demonstrated the package with a Thomson-MPEG receiver. At this moment the 
prgrams are just in MPEG, but not scrambled. This will change in the near 
future. There are MPEG receivers from Pace on the market. This receivers are 
build for South-Africa and appeard on the italian market for TELEPIU. This 
receivers will let you see only the NTL-tests and TELEPIU. Itīs much better 
to wait a little bit For reception of the digital signals you still can keep 
your 120cm dish.
