Portuguese subscription TV take-up grows - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Figures produced by the Portuguese regulator Anacom show that there were 1.897 million subscribers to cable or DTH services in the country at the end of Q2 this year. The total represented a quarterly increase of 0.9% and a year-on-year one of 6.5%. As of the end of Q2, cable or DTH services were received in 34.4% of all Portuguese homes, and of these over three quarters (76.5%) opted for cable rather than DTH. Although growth in the take-up of cable services was particularly pronounced in the Alentejo region in Q2, almost half of all cable subscribers (49.2%) were still found in the Lisbon area.

They would get better figures if they tightened the Cabo encryption permanently!

In theory it would, but what would we do then

I was surprised, based on both the leaky encryption and the huge popularity of the Portuguese underground sat-scene.

Hardly anyone believes any figures churned out in Portugal, especially the Portuguese

Example A recent announcement.....

Based on GDP Portugal is the biggest contributor to the EU'.

Odd, cos Portugal is still taking not giving.

That same annoncement had the UK as the lowest contributor....based on GDP of course
