Notes:
1 SECAM encoded.
2 Canal + is encoded in Nagravision much of the time. However it does run clear some of the day.
Although these transmissions are SECAM encoded, the modern portable tv I now use for my satellite tv chasing actually shows the signals in colour, despite only using the aerial cable. I suspect new tv's must have SECAM circuitry in them - probably so they can be sold round Europe without modifications.
