I actually got discovery channel europe before it came to BskyB Multichannels in Videocrypt1 and Multichoice Kaleidoscope in Videocrypt 2 in 1993 for a few years before with a 1.2m IRTE motorised dish,EchostarSR5500 satellite receiver positioner from Intelsat601 in PAL clear with stereo sound 7.02/7.20Mhz with an acceptable and slightly sparklie picture. It was intended for cablenets but was NEVER scrambled,wonder why? cable exclusive channels don't normally broadcast in the clear.
Anthony, I seem to remember it wasn't so usual to scramble cable channels, I remember Country Music Television was the same, plus European Business News. Especially those that couldn't be received with a small dish!
Nice. I used to watch Beyond 2000 from time to time, with all kinds of futuristic developments. Now we are there and passed the magic 2000 year.
