oops i forgot to add in the freq. its 10714 h 22.0 (the Secret millionaire is showing)
 
There are 6 C4's on 10714H, 5 of them have dropped the encryption flag and are totally fta. One still has the encryption flag set
 
I see it too.

Wow, now I can see it clearly, what colours! ;-):-worship

No encryption flag meaning FTA on a Sly box :)

I guess the 'freesat' version 8350 tag for ch4 on 10.729 will disappear soon A/S ??
 
cheers for that one Analogue
...any chance if you know if C4 +1 will go the same way?
 
Also on 10.714 is film 4+1 and more4+1 fta. Good for us because we've never had film4 or more4 before(or b4)
 
only found that out earlier zorba. lord knows how long it been like that..same with the sky sports 1,2,3 and fx uk there fta also..its been mentioned somewhere here b4
 
Film4 & Film4+1 think have been FTA since they went on freeview, certainly since I've had satellite (about 2 years). Channel 4 (well the new one), more4, more4+1, E4 & E4+1 went FTA a couple of days before the launch of freesat, despite the +1's not yet being on the freesat EPG.

They've been playing around with this transponder 10714H for a couple of weeks, but it seems to have settled down and I think Sky is now using it, but freesat is not. There has been much speculation, freesat is surely get the C4 regions from this, but it is not clear when or where C4+1's will go, the freed space on 10729 some people think five is going there soon, others (wishfully) believe C4HD is going to go FTA.

Possibly, BUT a 2D transponder will have to be cleared out first. So if / when we see some big frequency swicharounds then its reasonable to suspect C4 +1 is coming.

Its possible 8350 may become a fta version of C5.....
 
Any idea as to why they keep a version of C4 on Astra 2A encrypted ?

Are they going to follow ITV1's decision to keep a few of the regional versions encypted on a pan-European beam ?

Its probably the Irish version - there are rights issues involved in transmitting C4 to ireland - some progs are blacked out
 
It's about time it was fta, seems silly to be encrytpted but when they signed the contract so many years ago no one knew what was around the corner.
There is so much fta or ftv now that it's questionable if it's better than anything else on offer (unoffically) and lets face it with no hassle
