Free Sat-a-lite

FreeSat was the "satellite event of the year" all over the UK and in Europe. TV viewers everywhere are waiting for the launch of additional channels which are announced to reach a number of 80 in spring this year. Well, by now spring gets closer and serious activity can not be recognized so far. People discussing in online forums are making their guesses about the start date, which channels might be included in the package and wheter there might be a progress in the EPG service. Well, BB24 already had the junior version "freesat-a-lite" in stock. That means we can provide hardware which would enable your tv to receive channels like BBC 1..BBC4, ITV 1..4, Sky News or Film Four already now! What you need is our satellite dish with a digital receiver and some cabling. As soon as the official FreeSat starts you will only have to re-run a transponder scan to get further channels into your digitalbox's list. Already now you will have sub-titling to most of the programs shown.

Champions live on stream

The all German Champions League final will be on TVs around the world. But sometimes you have just no access to a tv set or you may be just out of signal while in an office or other work place. So there is a chance that you have a computer nearby. And when lucky enough there also is an internet connection available.

In this case you can use one of the media streams provided by the tv broadcasters. For viewers in Germany the coverage is provided by the channel ZDF. Just install  VLC player on your computer and you can open this network stream:

As you can imagine: this live stream is only available to users located in Germany. Though the stream quality during daytime is OK, it might be possible that during football transmissions the server is stressed. A huge number of viewers bringing down bandwidth and picture quality as this angry report describes.

But the ZDF is free to air on satellite tv. When your dish is pointed to either satellite Astra 1 at 19° East or Eutelsat Hotbird at 13° East you can watch that final match all over Europe on proper tv (German commentary).
