Hello,

despite a long search, I was unfortunately unable to find the current BISS keys for the two ESPN channels 12.608 H in the BISS keys thread.

I suspect that the current entries were lost during the site crash at the time.

Would someone please enter the current keys in the corresponding thread?

Many thanks in advance

That's right, changes were made every month until 2019.
I hadn't watched this Px for a long time and there was also a receiver change

Thanks for checking that out for everyone .
i am curious to see if ESPN returns as HD variant and possibly the SD versions were due to be replaced anyhow ?
i am just thinking of some common sense type situation nothing more i would like to see those channels appear again
and for sure it is a very wise smart move by @roccky to keep scanning and remain with a positive attitude i do like that a lot : )

hopefully we find some answers soon .....
cheers !

Hello All,

To my great disappointment I found out today that the ESPN channels on Telstar 15West have been removed.

Really sad and disappointed, as I watched those channels quite a bit and they often had good sports on them.

How soon before all the sports channels via BISS are gone.

Moved your post here to correct topic .
Last Thursday Early Afternoon 30th May ESPN 15W Was correctly reported as to Cease broadcasting .
it was surprising after so many years but i can only imagine it is even more budget cuts as i'm certain sure it costs money in the end to keep those channels operational even IF they are only backup channels .
i am guessing there was a lack of funding to upgrade to HD and therefor they just decided to shut down permanently .
Lately there is more doors closing than opening sadly due to shortage of money for even the biggest companies .

Thanks Barney.

I hadn't logged in for several days so would've missed this thread.

Shame as this satellite and the ESPN channels in particular were my introduction to this forum several years ago.

I got so much help and guidance from yourself, @manic01 and others, and I wrote my first tutorial on the back of clearing
these BISS encrypted channels using a TM 5402 M3.

It's a bit nostalgic for me.

Similar feelings here. I used to watch them quite a bit as well, and I will miss these iconic channels.

Are there any other similar channels in any other satellite? Thinking of Formula 1, basketball, tennis...
