Don’t hold your breath here. Yankees and Canadians can’t even dream about it. If they want a  free TV they have to steel it or watch some distorted signal of a local station on their old analog TV sets. In this site of the world you have to pay even for the commercials.

A free satellite TV and radio service from the BBC and ITV, named Freesat, was started in England Tuesday.

The new service will allow viewers to watch high-definition programming without paying for a subscription, The Times of London reported.

Instead, customers will pay a one-time fee of about $300 for a digital box, satellite dish and installation.

Viewers also must have an HD-ready television to view high-definition programs.

The report said the service will be available in 98 percent of British homes and initially will feature more than 80 television and radio channels.

It is expected to offer up to 200 channels by the end of the year, The Times said.

Way to go England !

The Christmas and New Year season is over, and long anticipated fixes for the FTA receivers are still not coming.
Pirated satellite receivers are not working well or at all and even some receivers like CaptiveWorks, Pansats, Sonicviews and others are releasing temporary fixes, some form of stability is far from here. Some of the so called fixes are not working even when released.
If any of the new fixes survive any ECM, then we may expect the software to spread to other models and makes, but for now it looks like the satellite companies are winning big and pirates are crushed for now.
What about the fta receiver in IKS Internet mode?
Well, by looking at almost daily releases of new files for them I suspect that they are in a lot of trouble as well.
