And now the news:


---------- Duna TV to move to new bird

Duna TV is set to move to Eutelsat HotBird 4, after the launch later
this year. The news is available at MTV 2 Hungary's website (
http://www.mtv.hu/ ), although it is in Hungarian! It will be avaiable
in clear/PAL on 10,815 H, and will presumably move from its current
position on Eutelsat II-F3. As of yet, no channels are definitely
confirmed to be on HotBird 4.


---------- MTV explains soft encryption
(first with the news, Sat-UK)

The recent spout of soft encryption on MTV UK on Astra 1A, transponder
15, has been put down to technical problems. MTV Europe's technical
manager stated that the encryption change was 'entirely due to technical
difficulties with the VideoCrypt encryption system data'. Well that
explains that.
