Norwegian TV programmes via Sky

I live in the Shetland Islands which are just 225 miles or so from Norway. We subscribe to Sky and are paying extra for the HD facilities.
I was wondering if there was a way to tune in, perhaps via the "other channels facility, to some Norwegian stations. If so, how would I do it and how would I find out the programme frequencies to do so.

I am not a technical person so not too much technical stuff please.
I guess that, if I can get Norwgian stations, I might get some from other countries also.

All suggestions appreciated!

My System: Triax 1.1m and Orbital 80cm Motorised Dishes. Various fixed Dishes. Eclectic selection of Digital and Analogue Receivers. Complex switching and distribution that SWMBO cannot fathom. Nor me.

No Norwegian stuff on the Satellites used for Sky (Astra 2 and Eurobird 1 at 28E nominal)

You'd need a system capable of receiving Thor at 1W and/or Sirius at 5E.

A Sky Box is useless away from 28E.

So it's a whole new set up, I'm afraid ................

Very little is available Free To Air, so you'd need to Subscribe to a package such as Canal Digital Norway.

Thanks.

Which additional channels can I tune to via the Sky "other channels" option?

I would love to be able to get Country Music Television.

Other Channels gives you access to very little indeed - a few more ITV Regions and that's about your lot.

CMT not on BSkyB. Read elsewhere that Rural TV on epg 279 covers a variety of similar country music.
