Losing Sky channels when using a non Sky box?
Some non Sky boxes can be used to read a Sky card, and access Sky channels.
However, it looks like Sky have increased their security, and there are rports that, as from yesterday, C4 and C4+1 on frequency 12480, the Irish regional variations, are no longer watchable on non Sky boxes.
This morning some reports are suggesting Sky 3 / Pick TV is also unavailable on non Sky boxes.
It looks like Sky have increased their card security, and are trying to stop their cards being used on non Sky boxes in another attempt to reduce card sharing.
This could be the "something" that was expected when they changed to the new white Sky cards...

An update on the new C4HD frequency:
an update on the new C4HD frequency:
C4HD may only just be available to users with a 80cm satellite dish here in Spain, but not for all day.
And there are reports that even on 2,4m satellite dishes, that C4HD can be lost for an hour or so between 3 and 6pm.
Why? Well according to reports,. C4HDs frequency of 12606v is similar to that on another satellite. In fringe reception areas, like the Med and Costa Blanca areas, the frequency of the other satellite is a lot stronger than that for C4HD, and so C4HD loses the battle of the frequencies. Even a big dish may not be the answer as strangely a big satellite dish will actually be able to receive more of the "unwanted" frequency!
Keep up to date with the new Channel 4 HD frequencies and changes on this thread on out Costa Blanca Satellite TV Forum

Missing MBC channels on Nilesat at 7 West
Today I have noticed that the MBC channels
MBC1, MBC2, MBC3, MBC4, MBC Action and MBC Max
on frequency 11938 27500 3/4
are not longer operating.
It may mean that they have moved to a new frequency.
This new frequency is being reported as being
12437 H 27500 2/3
However, this is no longer on the Nilesat satellites, but on Atlantic Bird, a new satellite in the same location.
Atlantic Bird has a different satellite footprint, and this means that these MBC channels are no longer available on 80cm satellite dishes in Spain.
Should you wish to continue to watch the MBC channels, then you will need to have a new dish pointing towards the Badr satelltes at 26 east.
Contact us for more information

Motors TV now free to view on Sky
Motors TV, which used to be part of the Sky TV subscription service, is currently available to view for free.
Howeve, to watch Motors TV, you still need a sky card, as Motors TV is "free to view", and not "free to air".
So if you have a freesatfromsky viewing card, you can now receive Motors TV with no subscription on Sky channel 413.
As Motors TV is "free to view" and not "free to air" it will not be available on "Freesat" boxes or other free to air satellite receivers.
I do not know if this is a permanent thing, but it is there at the moment, and should be able to be receive on a small 80cm satellite dish.
