Eurobird digital satellite is transmitting on 28.5E. If you know how to do it change your digibox to:

11.681 GHz
Vertical polarisation
27.5
2/3

The signal is sometimes stronger at different times of the day and different channels appear and disappear all the time. Euronews sometimes pops up.

Cant they act stupid and let people watch it without it being encrypted whether they have a licence to broadcast in the uk or not

i doubt that world will go on unencrypted as more and more channels these days choose to encrypt.
