Fox seems to be FTA most of the time, however they do sometimes scramble it with BISS just before or shortly after the footie starts

Thought I'd have a look.
Man U v Wigan started FTA. Good signal - hovering between 69-70% on TM1500 with 88cm dish. Game just gone off after 10mins. Black screen displaying 'No Audio/Video' but still showing signal. Usually comes up 'Scrambled' if they turn encryption on. Maybe they stopped the broadcast. Fingers crossed for you tomorrow ![]() |

Doesn't sound hopeful. They used to do that in the old d2mac days on Canal + when the football was on. Sounds like its going to have to be BBC Radio Manchester for me

jontydog They must turn the "power"down during the game.
I arrived home about 5mins. before kick off, turned on Fox Turk - no signal, all of the other channels on 33e no probs. good sig. strength & quality. Two mins. before end of normal time sig. back to normal & good picture. No message of encryption just looks like they operate on reduced power across UK & possibly Europe to spoil our enjoyment. We live in hope! |
