And now the news:
---------- French porn in the clear
French pornographic channel, Eros TV, which is due to begin soon, has
started testing on Eutelsat II-F3, 11,575 V. What makes this unusual is
that Eros TV is testing in the clear (PAL). According to European
guidelines, Eros TV will encrypt upon regular transmissions, using D2MAC
and a subscription card.
---------- Haven't they heard of windbrakes?
So Sirius 2 has been delayed yet again. According to the feed on Tele-X
(12,605 L), the launch was cancelled due to high winds, although some
reports are rumouring a fault with the craft itself. It is very likely
that the launch will take place tonight at around the same time -
21:48-22:33 UTC, same frequencies/satellites. Let's keep our fingers
crossed!
