Foxtel only want you to watch Foxtel transmissions .For that you must pay even though its free to air elsewhere.
Another thing is why the hidden pids for Aljazeera?
I'd say Aljazazeera has done some kind of deal with fox so that standard Foxtel boxes dont pickit up on a rescan. So then later they can sell it if it becomes popular.
Something 'hidden' can't become popular, certainly not by Foxtel subscribers anyhow who are 100% ignorant of its existence.
More to it I'd suggest, political and to a smaller degree business. ALJI may have had a deal, with Fox, for a cheaper TP cost that way, possibly. In my view they should look at Optus D2 and move over to it, that way we'd have Russia Today, press TV, and ALJI on one sat.
AlJazeera International (the english service on C1 - and C band too AS3) has in fact some pretty balanced? and I think resonable coverage and stories from Rabaul to Port Moresby to Argentina.
Al Jazeera, the arabic channel so noted for its more graphic news footage during the early stages of the Iraq conflict, is free to air on C band, AS2.
Another channel, chased and effectively banned from Ku coverage over AUS where it resided on the Optus B3 sat some time back, returns to Indonesia's Palapa C2, C band - 'Al Manar' - the LEB Hezbollah? channel. For me, I look to see how all political sides think.
I note from Idon news (Metro TV) a few days back, East Timor pro Indon militia member Enrico Guterrez? was released from prison, he carried proudly the Indon flag, all smiles, and now sports an Islamic beard. ADF might like to take this as a security alert.
