Just a little correction: IIRC YES moved StarWorld to channel 270. (Just a little FYI to all the Trekkies out there :) ). On Thursday 18 January 2007 12:13, Geoffrey S.

This has caused an uproar among the English speaking (aka Anglo) community here. I was interviewd by a reporter for Haaretz, and also commented in my blog, that now that people were angry at both they would be changing the way they spent their entertainment shequels. I also commented that anyone who had an Internet connection would quickly find out that they could bootleg the programs for free without YES or HOT and this would really clog the Internet. While I did not tell her how to bootleg the programs, as assuming I did know how, it would not be appropriate for me to tell anyone. If someone was interested they would have to find out on their own. The Jerusalem Post was far more forthcomming, they listed URLs in their articles. I have heard that 70-80 percent of the Internet's traffic was BitTorrent files, and most of them were bootlegs. After this latest increase in downloading to replace what was free, but is no longer available, I expect that almost all of the traffic in Israel is downloading bootleg files, most of it TV programs that people used to watch on BBC Prime (dropped by HOT) or Star World (dropped by YES). In plain English, there goes the neighborhood. :-( Geoff. -- Regards, Tzahi. -- Tzahi Fadida Blog: http://tzahi.blogsite.org | Home Site: http://tzahi.webhop.info WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
