[BITList] sky news and Apple TV

[Ronald Thomas]

Colin. As far as I am aware, my signal is received by means of a parabolic 
antenna which is trained on to a special satellite, the signal then being 
inputed to my TV via a Didgibox thingie, which presumably, demodulates the 
incoming signal to an acceptable form for reception. Whilst OK, it can be 
weather sensitive, i.e storms etc will let it freeze the images so I switch 
off until nature gets to be friendly again!.All Free, but not for all SKY 
channels.as some need a payment to view, however free viewing or not the 
system is the same, verification as to whether you have paid or not being by 
means of an activation card into the Digibox. Hopes this helps. Ron.  p.s. 
thought that you had satellites in the US!!!!
