Brian - Seems like somebody at SKY has kicked up with it being put out FTA as my receivers are showing it as videcrypt. It looks like we will have to wait until April before we see this concluded.

Les: It went encrypted during Desperate Housewifes this morning. I don't watch much on Channel 4 even in standard definition but I checked to see if it was still FTA. The sreen went blank with the message "no video or audio", so I changed channels then back again and it came up as "scrambled program". On my Panasonic Freesat receiver it as always described it as "Pay TV - Encrypted". What I can't understand is why they have chosen a symbol rate of 28250, whereas all Sky HD transponders have a symbol rate of 29500.

NottsUK - It may be of course that until the SKY contract has run out that this is an issue. Obviusly that contract will have to run its course and I assume that it will have done that at the point it is included on the "Freesat" EPG in April. As all the other channels that have been included on Freesat I expect it will also be FTA at the point also.

NottsUK: The symbol rate has to match the capabilities of the transponder, this is probably down to the way that Eurobird 1 has both H and V polarization on the same frequencies.
Les Nicol: I would expect that Sky have probably run up Channel 4 and threatened them with something legal and unpleasant.

Matrix_Mike: I'm assuming you mean on terrestrial TV.
The BBC are hoping that the next generation of encoders will allow five HD channels in one multiplex. The target is somewhere around the end of next year. I believe Channel 5 have to be offered the option again, though (BBC One HD only exists because Five turned down their option last time).
I would expect that ITV and Channel 4 are uneasy bedfellows on a BBC multiplex, so they may well be looking for ways to get new multiplexes going. I don't think anything will get sorted out until after switchover completes and channels 31 to 38 are auctioned off.
