During the last weeks we received many requests regarding RDV. Yesterday,
RDV released a press information and we will pass on it to our readers.
A second question was been: where to buy a RDV-decoder for reception via the
GORIZONT-satellite in c-band? This decoders are available from MASCOM,
Isarstrasse 2, D-86179 Augsburg/Germany, e-mail: grusat@aol.com, homepage:

>TECHNICAL REORGANISATION AT RENDEZ-VOUS TELEVISION WILL TAKE ANOTHER FEW
>DAYS.
>
>>From Rendez-Vous International Television S.A. the Luxembourg holding company
>to Rendez-Vous S.A. France, the International explicit adult entertainment TV
>network.
>
>
>Total reorganisation of our transmission system has been decided. This is not
>all the end of our operation. (Far from it contrary to persistent rumours
>entertained by self proclaimed << insiders >> and reprinted in a certain
>press). Moreover, Rendez-Vous Television will have at the end of this
>reorganisation a broader international coverage, the largest of all explicit
>adult program across the world.
>
>On top of the K.U. Band on Eutelsat 2F3 and on C Band on Gorizont Stationar
>12, Rendez-Vous will broadcast in the next few days from EKRAN 99o East. As a
>result Rendez-Vous will offer the largest international coverage from the
>West of Europe to Japan and from the Siberia to Central Africa.
>
>This total rearrangement of Rendez-Vous Television transmission is the
>consequence of number of various technical problems related to the up-link,
>the D2MAC transmission format and related software. The whole issue being
>worsened by the significant increase of the number of pirate cards. Pirates
>using more << professional >> methods have lead Rendez-Vous Television to
>substantially modify its relevant software and subscriber access system. A
>free exchange of << unofficial >> Rendez-Vous cards against a 6 Months new
>Rendez-Vous cards will be offered.
>
>It will take a couple of weeks to Rendez-Vous Television to implement those
>new measures (while the C Band will maintain normal transmission). During
>this period a << Soft >> replacement program  will be broadcasted in clear on
>the K.U Band, three hours per day within the normal time period on the same
>satellite (Eutelsat 2F3, TR 20 H.)
>
>For the short time prejudice suffered, Rendez-Vous subscribers will have
>their subscriptions extended for a whole month. All distributors dealers and
>cable operators will receive the present release by fax.   ...or email  :-)

>Rendez-Vous Television International S.A., holding luxembourgeois de la
>chaine pour adultes Rendez-Vous Television (France) communique:
>
>Une reorganisation complete de notre systeme de diffusion vient d'etre mise
>au point. Loin de signifier l'arret des emissions de notre chaine (comme on a
>pu le lire, parfois, ces jours derniers)  Rendez-Vous Television disposera au
>contraire, a l'issue de cette restructuration technique, de la plus large
>couverture internationale de toutes les chaines pour adultes diffusee dans le
>monde.
>
>En effet, venant s'ajouter a sa diffusion sur la bande K.U. et sur la bande
>C, a partir d'un satellite de la famille GORIZONT (Stationar 12) Rendez-vous
>Television sera diffusee, en programme-test, dans les tout prochains jours,
>sur EKRAN 99o E. Ainsi la chaine disposera-t-elle de la plus large couverture
>internationale, de l'ouest de l'Europe au Japon et de la Siberie jusqu'a
>l'Afrique centrale.
>
>Cette refonte totale de l'organisation de la diffusion de Rendez-Vous
>Television est la consequence d'une succession de difficultes techniques
>liees, a partir de la voie montante actuellement utilisee, a la transmission
>en D2MAC et plus encore a l'accroissement dangereux du marche des cartes
>pirates en Europe et dans le monde. Ce piratage de plus en plus <<
>professionnel >> impose a la chaine une modification serieuse de ses
>logiciels d'acces par cartes a puces.
>
>Toutes ces modifications prendront une quinzaine de jours, au maximum.
>Pendant cette periode un programme soft   de remplacement sera diffuse en
>clair trois heures par jour, dans la tranche horaire habituelle, sur le meme
>satellite (Eutelsat 2F3 16o) et le meme transpondeur (TR 20-H).
>
>Bien entendu, a titre de dedommagement, les Abonnes de Rendez-Vous Television
>verront leur abonnement prolonge d'un mois complet, tandis que l'ensemble des
>distributeurs de la chaine et les cablo-operateurs recevront, par fax, le
>present communique.
