I am thinking of buying an Azbox since the future of 4DTV is in doubt. Will an Azbox tune CBC?

The answer is no. CBC is encrypted as 4:2:2 Videoguard so it won't get it. Maybe just the sound but def not the video

They're scrambled

there is some CBC news feeds on 107.3 KU but they're just those "on location" items

I thought that the issue with CBC was that it was Trellis 8PSK, and you couldn't even lock the transponders with ANY consumer affordable receiver. I have seen reports that it's encrypted too, although that hardly seems necessary if no-one can lock the transponders anyway. Or is there a way to tune these transponders that I'm not aware of???

Thanks for the information. I wonder if there is an FAQ on the Azbox?

CBC is available OTA........try www.tvfool.com, will tell you whether it is getable in your area, gl!

You are right, it is Trellis 8PSK, the last time I looked (granted this was 2 years ago) they were still encrypted, the Alteia is collecting dust as they are not many trellis 8PSK feeds left. Might have to take it out of retirement and check lol

Doesn't the big FOX use Trellis? Do they also encrypt?

I thought that FOX used to be Trellis. At least I wasn't able to lock them. However recently, I've been able to lock some DVB-S2 channels that I *THINK* are FOX, although they are encrypted, and are set up in an ATSC/General Instruments setup rather than the regular DVB type setup, and thus don't have an NIT with identifying network info, so I'm not positive that they are indeed FOX transponders, but I THINK they are FOX. Anyway, I think they at least have some DVB-S2 transponders now.

I get 3 Winnipeg stations OTA, not aware of any CBC stuff being available FTA.
