Quick question recquiring quick answer?

[Miklos]

On LJ's Live On Sat football/sport site where he has FTA (encrypt) what exactly does it mean?

I notice Lider TV of Azerbaijan is showing the Bolton/Chelsea game listed as FTA but if I tune into Lider will I be able to watch it?

Cheers!

it means the channel is usually free to air but may encrypt when footy is on

Bolton Vs Chelsea is also being shown on Prima TV Cze, part of Digi TV, 1W, which is currently open on patched receivers and cams.
What satellite equiment do you have and what satellites can you receive?

Then LJ's site is misleading
It is either one or the other and therefore they should colour it blue for encryption and not mislead people by colouring it red!!!

I've just tried it and the screen is black!!

I have a Fortec Star Passion HD receiver with Dragon CAM and Predator 3.66 software.
Motorised dish but cannot pick up 1W at all. Not unless I get up the ladder and make some adjustments.

I can get 9E, 13E, 16E, 19.2E, 21.5E, 28E nothing else at the mo!!!

No - Its fta on the terrestrial transmitter network - Lider normally just blanks the video feed to the sat transmission

Just occasionally they forget to deal with the satellite transmission, but not normally.
