    Is this channel likely to stay FTA?

    Yes that's correct. Do you know if there are any plans to bring that to D2 as well?

    Yes, another SAME 'NHK World TV' at Optus D2, at two transponders ( as of April 2nd, 2008 ). The first transponder, 12734 V - 22500, and the second transponder now there with 12546 V - 22500. Then I'm wondering IF it might will change to 'NHK World Premium', as the FTA 'NHK World TV' is in it's experimental tranmission ?? I'm NOT forking out my precious $50 for that paying channel of 'premium', as my patched 192p receiver will help me to go thru with it.

    Not seeing NHK's 12546 V 22500 detail from the website, but wonder who runs 12675, V, sr13333 - NHK and religious channel..... Anyone check this detail?? If it works it might become NHK's premium channel, mebbe - which is/was on IS8Ku's Panglobal service. Odd.

    I've looked at the NHK World Japanese website. It seems that NHK world's 9o'clock news is now in English and not Japanese. According to the website Nhk World is going to be predominately English and to see it in Japanese you have to suscribe to the premium service. There's no mention of it coming to D2 on their site yet, but with the news nine being English my wife will be pissed when she finds out.
