Re: Sky Europe

I wonder if they will continue to use both 13E and 19E.

... with the Crap that UK subscribers have too over here ...

if not happy of the paid service : ... boycott them ...

that is pure liberalism !

Re: Sky Europe

I would imagine that the situation in both countries is similar to the UK, ie. mostly fixed dishes to receive the service, so having to change over to a different Satellite position would be a very costly operation, and, I would think that there would be a major outcry on the part of subscribers. The other aspect of this would be that it is unlikely that either Satellite would have the amount of spare capacity to cater for such a move.

and local cooperation among local friends ...

... the amount of spare capacity to cater for such a move.

Re: Sky Europe

If this's really done, it would be nice for someone could have better services for less money, but I think that, as always, they only want our money and don't care about the quality of services.

Sadly I believe it will have exactly the opposite effect.

That's wishful thinking...

I agree with you my friend

I believe that from all these changes the big loser will be the CS.

They will protect their product with a new locking , a new encryption and we will stay in black for a long time

Re: Sky Europe

Not only that but they will soon have to pay higher prices for their subscription and get inferior programs, welcome to the club

Re: Sky Europe

The monopolisation will bring higher prices to subscribers.

Re: Sky Europe

I don't agree to this point of view about monopolisation.
This could be, if actually there was a global european market, but anyway markets are still segmented with countries...so nothing changes...
Don't know about cs, but this is not an economic problem, since it's illegal...
