Thanks for your e-mail!<br />HRT broadcasts a special programme (3x 8 hours) for North and South<br />America, Australia and New Zealand which is called "Picture of Croatia".<br />In these 8 hours we try to put all the best shows we are allowed to. As<br />the programme is free-to-air we can't put neither sports, nor series, nor<br />movies.<br />As far as your question about broatcasting HTV1 and HTV2 for Australia is<br />concerned, I'm afraid that it would be too expensive to realize that.<br />We are aware of the current problem that our satellite programme, how it<br />looks like at the moment, has to be improved.<br />Because of that HRT is going to encrypt the programme, first for North<br />America.<br />The project starts on february, 1st 2005. From that day on you are going<br />to be able to watch all the best what our viewers in Croatia by watching<br />HTV1 and HTV2 can see.<br />When we are going to encrypt the programme for Australia, too - I do not<br />know at the moment, but as soon as HRT decides to do so, we are going to<br />inform you in time!

does this mean its goin to get encrypted over here?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/default/confused.gif" />

No, HRT will stay FTA for Australia.<br /><br />They may partially encrypt their programme in future but I'd say the chances are small...
