And now the news:


---------- SKY ENTERTAINMENT
Sky Entertainment has finished on 11,568 V (tp24), Astra 1A. Apparently,
there will be another test on the 24th of May... Until then, we're left
once again with the familiar Sky Channel Guide.

---------- BT BUSINESS TV
BT Business TV is back on Eutelsat II-F3, 11,163 H. Business TV left for
a while, and then returned every so often, encrypted in B-MAC. Now it
seems that the old colour bars and the classical music have been
replaced by BTBTV again.

---------- DER KINDERKANAL/ARTE
Der KinderKanal and arte have left Eutelsat II-F1, 11,055 H!!! According
to Eutelsat, these two were planning to stay on II-F1 only until all
cable companies in Germany had retuned their dishes and receivers to
Astra 1D. Now that they have, DKK and arte have left II-F1.

---------- CHINESE CHANNEL
Big news... The Chinese Channel will leave 10,788 V on May 31st. The
general entertainment channel, available to the UK and encrypted in
nagravision, has had its fill. Perhaps the Adult Channel will take its
place, leaving tp11 free for........

---------- UPDATES
Astra 1A: premiere will supposedly start using 11,32 H (tp11) soon
Astra 1C: Radio Oesterreich has a homepage at http://www.orf.at/rai/
