The French-language television network TV5 Monde has announced that its channels are once again encrypted on the Intelsat satellite. This means that viewers who do not have a subscription to the network will no longer be able to watch the channels.
The encryption of the TV5 Monde channels is a result of a dispute between the network and Intelsat over the carriage fees. Intelsat is demanding a higher fee from TV5 Monde to carry its channels, and TV5 Monde has refused to pay the higher fee.
As a result of the dispute, TV5 Monde has been forced to encrypt its channels on Intelsat. This means that viewers who do not have a subscription to the network will no longer be able to watch the channels.
TV5 Monde is a popular network among French-speaking viewers around the world. The network offers a variety of programming, including news, current affairs, documentaries, and entertainment.
The encryption of the TV5 Monde channels is a major inconvenience for viewers who do not have a subscription to the network. These viewers will no longer be able to watch their favorite shows on TV5 Monde.
It is unclear how long the dispute between TV5 Monde and Intelsat will last. In the meantime, viewers who do not have a subscription to TV5 Monde will have to find other ways to watch their favorite French-language programming.
