After a few weeks of being told that it was a "temporary" change, we were informed today that the Sports 3 channels will stay on Nimiq 1

I guess it's a good news for those who wanted to add Sports 3, but didn't want to go over the trouble of having a tech in, paying the upgarde piece on a credit card, waiting for te refund, ect...
 
I knew this weeks ago, it is to help take some pressure off the 82 degree birds ready for more HD content....
 
It was in free preview, I believe I even posted pics off my screen.

It has been moved a few week ago, I knew that, but techs were telling us it was only for a few weeks, or months.

Yesterday in our information system there was a message that they decided it wuld be permanent

No more info about the free preview, and the free preview message dissapeared on my receiver
 
The channels wenot all on the same transponders, but yes, that means there is 4 rooms free on the 82 to add channels, whether HD or SD
 
I believe the reason they moved was bacause of a partial sat failure. IE that space no longer exists.
 
They were moved because of the free preview that was (or is) going on. Since most BEV customers don't get 82, not many could take advantage of it there.

There was some sort of glitch that happened close to the same time, which somebody assumed was related. I don't think it was.
