Damn!

The only reasonable FTA channel to watch on Hispasat now seems to be a pay channel. I tried to watch the news this morning and the word 'coded' appeared.

I thought that the BBC's objective was a free news channel. Can Hispasat do this?

Cheers

Of course they can do that

BBC World News is easily available fta on several other satellites so get it off one of them instead.

Looks to be the case,as BBC News World is now encrypted to both Spanish and Portugese,Hispasat viewers.
