First Automotive Channel to be Encrypted

On June 17, 2013, the «First Automotive» channel will encrypt its signal. The channel has already practiced broadcasting encryption in BISS encoding, which was handled by any standard satellite receiver. However, this time the encryption will be done using the conditional access system Viaccess 4.0, which will make it impossible to watch the «First Automotive» channel using built-in emulators of digital satellite tuners.

«We are forced to take this step, primarily protecting the copyright of content producers» - the channel comments on Vkontakte.

The possibility of further viewing of «First Automotive» in satellite broadcasting is to connect to paid satellite operators UA-TV or Viasat Ukraine.

The channel remains in the same place on the Amos 2/3 4.0°W satellite.

«Satellite signal encryption has long been practiced around the world to comply with copyright holders' requirements regarding the territory of signal distribution», - commented on the innovation Irina Tverdovskaya, general producer of the First Automotive TV channel - «This is a necessary measure in international television shows, especially if the content is unique and in demand».
