Actually, I heard that this was all to do with advertising revenue... if UK TV programmes are freely available to those of us who live outside the UK then we are getting the 'free' benefit of all those informative commercial breaks that allow us to pop to the loo or put the kettle on. This is really not in line with the policy of commercial stations who like to charge loads of money to advertisers based on viewing figures - so they are going to move the satellite until they have worked out how to include us in these. Well that was what I was told anyway.
In the meantime, and should Astra 2F manage to scramble the airwaves, I suppose we are all going to have to learn how to use vpns and watch telly on the internet if we want to find out what happens next on Eastenders. Unless anyone out there happens to have a decent long range ground to air missile capable of knocking it out before it arrives ...
