Channel 4 & 5 on satellite free to air Forums

1happy

Hi Forum Users.
Very Happy

I have a Porty 2 Decoder bought from lidl in Belgium last summer & was thrilled in November to discover that Sky had unscrambled the ITV/3 channel (I know its Sad but was missing Corrie!). Cool

MY Question is :- Does anyone know if Channel 4 and 5 are yet unscrambled or are due to be ??? Shocked

Any advice or info would be gratefully recieved as the system is brilliant for "Free to air" programmes & the more channels the better.
Cheers Rolling Eyes

i seem to remember that c 4 + 5 had some sort of contract that would cost too much to break to go free to air .

they may be bound till 2008 i think .

cant guarantee this info but maybe of some help .
