MTV – VIVA alternatives on ASTRA satellite – free music video channels
May 22nd 2011
I wan’t my MTV back! On January 1st 2011 MTV Europe switched to a pay-tv channel leaving music fans alone with the channel VIVA. The problem is that music fans (like me) can’t live with only one free music channel. VIVA (which is owned by MTV-Viacom) is certainly cool, but after 8 PM old recycled series and curious cartoons appear. So where is the music and the nice videoclips? I decided to zap around on the ASTRA satellite to check which channel could be a real alternative to MTV. Here’s my list and be sure to get your satellite dish oriented to the ASTRA satellite to enjoy these new channels 😉

A few years ago TV broadcasters did not blur each frame in which a product appeared. Now the un-blurred versions of video clips are only available on YouTube or similar video sharing platforms.
Let’s have a look back to see why broadcasters came to such a decision and to discover which famous video clips included (subliminal?) ads for cool gadgets and products. More >
