Les consommateurs italiens contestent le cryptage des chaînes de la RAI sur satellite (bouquet Tivù Sat).
Nos organisations de consommateurs, totalement inertes sur ce sujet (cryptage sur TNTSat et Fransat), pourraient en prendre de la graine.
Italian consumers question RAI encryption
From Branislav Pekic in Rome
Italian consumers association Altroconsumo has lodged a complaint to the country’s Communications Authority (Agcom), the Antitrust Authority, and to the European commissioners for Competition and the Information Society, regarding the issue of encryption of the satellite broadcasts of Italian public broadcaster RAI.
According to Altroconsumo, in the period between April 16th and June 21st, more than 1.8 million Italian TV viewers equipped with satellite receivers were not able to watch some 357 programmes (including at least 18 news bulletins) aired on the Rai Uno, Rai Due and Rai Tre channels. Also, as of July last year, RAI is not making available on digital satellite, even partially, the public service channel Rai 4, which can be received exclusively via digital terrestrial.
The independent consumers association wants the AgCom to intervene by opening an inquiry in order to guarantee the public broadcasting service. Altroconsumo is also requesting that AgCom verifies press reports regarding the Nagra encryption technology adopted by the new DTH platform Tivu Sat, to be used by RAI, Mediaset and Telecom Italia Media from August 1. According to reports due to the new encryption technology more than 6.4 million decoders present in Italian households will not be able to receive the content aired on the new platform.
marceljack a écrit:Voilà une vraie offre gratuite tout en étant cryptée:
Résumé pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas l'anglais:
La RAI et Mediaset vont lancer le 31 juillet sur Hotbird un nouveau service satellite baptisé "TV Sat" (se prononce "tivou SAT" en italien) qui regroupera les principales chaînes numériques terrestres, principalement celles de la RAI et de Mediaset.
Ce service est une "joint venture" entre la RAI, Mediaset (48% chacun) et Telecom Italia (4%).
Il est prévu d'y ajouter un bouquet de chaînes HD plus tard.
Il n'est pas certain que tous les canaux soient cryptés en permanence (actuellement seuls les films et le sport sont cryptés sur la RAI par satellite).
Le système proposé sera beaucoup plus souple que TNTSat et Fransat, avec 3 possibilités pour le recevoir :
-package récepteur + carte à 100€
-carte seule (Nagravision) livrée gratuitement (frais d'expédition à la charge du demandeur) pour ceux qui ont déjà un récepteur Nagravision
-modules CAM (à partir de 2010) pour les récepteurs à slots CI du marché
Fransat, et (on peut rèver ?) TNT SAT pourraient en prendre de la graine ...

Tivù Sat to launch July 31
From Branislav Pekic in Rome
Italy’s new digital satellite TV platform, Tivù Sat, will launch on July 31, with 19 TV channels provided by the country’s leading broadcasters.
In order to receive the Tivù Sat offer, viewers will need to acquire a satellite dish, pointed at the 13° East orbital position, as well as the Tivù Sat digital box (bundled with the smart card), available from mid-July and costing around E100. Viewers already equipped with a Nagravision satellite receiver can request a dedicated smart card from RAI, paying only postage costs. Furthermore, conditional access modules (CAMs) will be on sale from 2010, which will enable reception on many of the existing digital satellite receivers on the market.
The line-up will include 10 channels from public broadcaster RAI (Rai Uno, Rai Due, Rai Tre, Rai4, Rai Gulp, Rai Gulp +1, Rai Sport +, RaiNews24, Rai Storia and Rai Edu 1); 7 channels from commercial broadcaster Mediaset (Canale 5, Rete 4, Italia 1, Iris, Boing, Boing+1 and Mediashopping); as well as La7 and Sat 2000. A package of HD channels will be added later on.
A decision has yet to be made by the broadcasters whether all or part of the programming (for which the foreign TV rights have not been acquired) will be encrypted. Mediaset has already made known it is likely to scramble its most watched TV channel, Canale 5.
RAI and Mediaset each have 48 per cent in the new venture, while Telecom Italia Media has the remaining 4 per cent.
