I just spoke with Abraham from VUTV and he informed me...and this might be old news to some...that Broadshift has been taken over by another company and that they (VUTV/Oversea TV I presume...since they are apparently one in the same) are currently negotiating with this new company so that they can continue providing us with German television (and for some reason he knew I was calling in regards to the German programing..are other programs not be affected by this???).  He asked for my phone number and said that he hopes to call me with the details tomorrow.  I also asked him if my current box will work and he said he "thinks it will."  I hope he follows through with his phone call.  On a side note, I found it funny that he answered the phone by just saying "hello" like he was answering his own home phone.
