Cardsharing : Sky Italia down, Sky Germany and Sky UK next...?

Cardsharing : Sky Italia down, Sky Germany and Sky UK next...?


Reports this past few week suggest that Sky Italia is currently down on satellite cardsharing systems.
Cardsharing is a system where you can link one viewing card to a network of receivers, usually paying customers via the internet, to enable the viewing of pay tv channel without an official viewing card.
As cardsharing, the sale or and use of, is illegal, pay TV channels are always trying to improve their security to try and prevent this.
The reports from Italy are that Sky Italia have changed their encryption algorithm. This change has meant the loss of Sky Italia channel on cardsharing systems.

TVE and Teledeporte do NOT have the Spanish TV rights for English Premiership football for the next few seasons. Canal+Futbol and GOLTV will be sharing the games, and you can expect about 5 live games each weekend, including those above and at elast one 3pm kickoff on Saturdays.
 
Other pay satellite TV packages are also available, like Sky Italia, Sky Germany, Nova, and ADMC (taken over from Showtime on Nilesat). At the moment it is thought that only ADMC have the rights to ALL games, although the others will have about the same as Canal+ and GOL TV, ie five live matches a weekend.

New Sky encrpytion being tested, to try and stop cardsharing of sky channels

Sky Italia, the Italian satellite platform, has recenly started to test new encryption coding provided by NDS.


NDS4 is expected to help stop cardsharing of the Sky Italia viewing cads.

Cardsharing and cardsharing networks are becoming an increasingly popular phenomenon, and pay TV comp[anies are always tryting to stop these networks, that allow one viewing card to be shared with other users via the internet.

Sky Italia is available in Italy from satellite position 13 East Hotbird.

If successful expect the NDS4 to be implimented across other Sky services, including Sky UK and Sky Germany.

However, for the moment, no one knows when it will implement the new encryption system

What is the best satellite for English channels?

What is the best satellite for English channels?

The main satellites that provide the UK with their satellite TV channels are the Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 satellites, located at 28 degrees east of south.

These satellites carry the main BBC,  ITV, C4, Five and "Sky subscription package" channels for the UK.
They are not available on any other satellite system, and so the answer to this question is simple.

The best satellite for English channels is the satellite used by Freesat / BBC / ITV and Sky.

However....

There are obviously many other satellite TV providers operating in other countries. And many of these systems carry the same channels and prgramming as the UK TV service. For example, Discovery Europe sell a version of their Discovery CHannel to individual counties, so you have Discovery UK, Discovery France and Discovery Spain. In many cases the programmes orignal soundtrack is available, and so programmes and movies can be watched with their origninal English speaking audio soundtrack.

In fact, some UK and USA imported programmes are also avail;able in English on TDT - the Spanish digital services available via a TV aerial.

So now the answer to the question "What is the best satellite for English channels?" can be most satellites offer Ebnglish language programmes and channels, but if you want he main UK TV channels like BBC and ITV in Spain, then its the Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 satellites at 28 degrees east of south.
