In 1997 1st time I buy a c band dish of 6 feet, at that time Star Sports & Espn both are available as fta on Asiasat, even Sony is fta also that time on 68.5*,
1st Star goes paid in between Carlton & United series of 97/98, it's between Australia, NZ & SA,
I missed the 3 match Finals of that series, becoz signals goes encrypted.

STAR TV’s move to separate its satellite signal into northern and southern beams reflected a drastic change in its programming strategy from a pan-Asian approach to a local approach targeting the two largest television markets. The northern beam included Prime Sports, Channel V, STAR Plus, STAR Movies, and the Chinese Channel. The southern beam featured Prime Sports, STAR Plus, Channel V, BBC World Service, Zee TV, and Zee Cinema (“An entertainment bazaar,” 1995). STAR TV’s sports channel, for example, gave Chinese more soccer, gymnastics, and track through its northern beam; its southern signal carried a heavier dose of cricket for Indian viewers (Engardio, 1994). STAR TV’s market position was further strengthened in India by the purchase of 49.9 per cent of India’s popular Hindi-language station, Zee TV, in early 1994. This move added two more Hindi-language channels – Zee News and Zee Cinema in addition to Zee TV to STAR’ channel lineup (Zee TV had been broadcasting in India by leasing a channel from STAR TV since October 1992) (Karp, 1994).
