Hey just because channels broadcast FTA in some parts of the world does not mean they can be FTA elsewere.<br /><br />They only buy program rights to transmit their programs to certain countrys in the footprint of the satelite. <br /><br />To broadcast into Australia may mean they have to pay more $$$$$ in aquiring program broadcast rights.<br /><br />Thats why "International" or "SAT" versions of some channel exist
