Lasted until 2002 when Norway shutdown their analogue D2-MAC broadcast. The last D2-MAC broadcast to shutdown in Scandinavia and in the world was Danish DR2 in June 2006 😅
@@King-oy4or Yes it became encrypted with EuroCrypt-S2 and became part of the Canal Digital analogue D2-MAC package. In 1992 FilmNet also changed from PAL to D2-MAC with EuroCrypt-M before it became CANAL+ Nordic in 1997.
Wasn’t Sky’s fault they decided because PAL signal and picture quality was poor compared to D2-MAC as mostly southern part of Norway could receive it strong without issues but when you came up north or near woods the quality was dramatically worse. And TVNorge also became a part of Canal Digital’s tv package for the first time and not independently broadcasting like they have been since the 80s so they wanted to encrypt it as well so all of their channels had the same broadcast standards.
I love these videos. Thank You! Too bad I can't watch more recordings from Scandinavia from that era.
1998 sounds a bit too late to be moving to D2-MAC, most broadcasters were moving away at this time to DVB. This surely didn't last long.

I enjoyed TVnorge since the 80s because it was in PAL. I guess the switch to Mac also meant it was encoded in Eurocrypt from that date on?

Thank Sky
