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

Its just a case of wait and see i'm afraid

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!
