- SOMETHING ABOUT THE NEW d-box

Hallo Chris!

 CM>   I understand that the operator Kirch has begun their digital
 CM>   service to Germany.
 CM>   I believe the digital boxes are now appearing in the shops over
 CM>   there.
 CM>   Can someone please tell me  :-
 CM>  1) What is the badging on these boxes -are they marked Kirch???

The box is called d-box. It costs about DM 890. If you subscribe to the
Kirch service, you can receive all the unscrambled channels that are part
of other packages of channels as well. However, you can't receive single
channel MPEG2 broadcasts like for example The Music Factory or TV10 on
Eutelsat 16 degrees east.

 CM>   2) Who actually makes these boxes for receiving Kirch services ???
 CM>        (I heard a rumour that it was Nokia).

The box is made by Nokia, although the company that does all of the
conditional access called Beta-Technik has probably made some changes.

 CM>  3) What's the latest status of the MMBG digital satellite service ???

You will be able to receive the MMBG digital services with the d-box as
well. It is not known when exactly they will start the service, it will
probably be this autumn.
