The perfect Xmas present would be to receive Dutch TV. Can a standard Sky Digital installation receive all the Dutch channels listed below? If so is there any thing we need to do to change the settings? And where can I obtain a card?
I am sorry there are so many questions.

I'm afraid
Sky digibox's cannot decode Dutch satellite TV as the Dutch use a different encryption system (Seca2). Also the Dutch use a different satellite position, Astra 1 at 19.2 degrees East. The only way for you to get Dutch TV would be to buy a second receiver, either an official mediaguard receiver or a 'universal' receiver with a CAM. You would also nreed to install a second dish or motorize your current dish. Dutch satellite smart cards can be bought over the couter from any satellite dealer in Holland and cost about 70 Euro's.
