From today, 10th July, BBC broadcasts from the Astra 2D satellite are becoming 'Free to Air'. This means they are unencrypted and can be received on any suitable digital equipment within the Astra 2D footprint. Viewers will no longer need an access card to watch our domestic services. Viewers using Sky digiboxes should not notice any difference to their BBC service.
