@@loganstuffuktv True, regular recordings of the time don't have the video quality. I'd have to get my hands on the originals that were in Sky's studios/uplink facilities, and even then it's likely they've deteriorated by now, if they even still exist.

SKY channels were routed to Bangalore, India through pirated cable tv. After scrambling, we lost all international channels and needed a set top box to watch foreign channels. Luckily, Our cable office took care of that and we only needed to pay rs. 150 (around 1.5 pounds) per month to watch 150+ channels. But thats a scam, cause most of the channels had poor trash reception, and some were duplicated. I still remember losing tv signal when it was raining, or when there was a power cut in the office- it would piss me off. My family had analog cable tv till 2018, so yeah, I had a lot of memories :) After 2018, there was a digitization policy that required set top box to watch channels, after upgrading, we lost all international channels... and even now they still have not added any :'( i guess they won't add.

So it took me from 1993 to 2018 to realise why we lost obtaining sky free. We used to accidentally pick it up and yet didn't even have sky. Then suddenly it stopped. We never knew why. We bought sky in late 1993 and saw the new ident and style and had one of those viewing cards. But had always assumed that viewing cards were always needed. So... basically.... sky didn't used to scramble it but then changed in 1st Sept 1993. You little video explains what happened. Thanks mate!

Sky was under increasing pressure by Hollywood studios and programme distributors to scramble their channels as they weren't happy at their material being available to view freely across Europe from the Astra Satellites. Also UK based broadcasters who joined the BSkyB Multichannels package couldn't allow their programmes to be seen across Europe either. MTV Europe's programme controller William Roedy had always said 'I will never make MTV a subscription channel' but a new programme controller succeeded him before the BSkyB Multichannels package and did. VH1 also appeared that day via Astra 1B channel 22 11.538 GHz V polarisation 7.02 / 7.02 MHz.

Then MBC 2 started in 2000s, with Hollywood movies 24/7 - for the next 15 years, until UK's CBS channels were available to whole Europe until 2015. Then Russian free film domains done the job.

@@oknar1977 But when Astra 2E / 2F and 2G came out, they currently have restricted UK spotbeam and European coverage capacity, i.e. national and commercial UK channels only intended for the United Kingdom can restrict their programmes to the UK with a very limited overspill to North West Europe, and the further south and east you go across Europe on the UK spotbeam channels, they eventually become weaker and non existent, there are odd hotspots where, with ridiculous sized satellite dish antennas, you can just about get anything watchable from them but the national HD versions are even harder to receive due to these using a more robust forward error correction mode and signal rate. Some commercial channels on Astra 2E / 2F, and increasingly 2G, on the Pan European spotbeam are not particularly worried about their programmes being free-to-view on the European continent as well as the UK, because less popular sports coverage, old shows / music videos etc don't attract such high royalty rates, like modern films and programmes with a high commercial value do. CBS's and True's owners Sony, decided, after their channels moved to the Astra 2 satellites from Eurobird 1 which covered the whole of mainland Europe, to restrict their offerings to the UK only so switched to Astra 2's UK spotbeam capacity for their channels.

I admit that I was never a proponent of Pay TV - still aren't and never will be. Yet, considering that governments force people to pay licensing fees or taxes (depending on which country you live) for publicly run / state-run television and radio, regardless of whether you even watch or listen to that content, I would generally prefer privately run / commercial / subscription-based television and radio over public / state media, any day. Why? When it comes to Pay TV, at least you can voluntarily decide if you want to subscribe to it or not. The Pay TV providers don't force you to watch their content.
