[QUOTE="closetosoton, post: 107299, member: 184281"] You'll need an 80cm dish, pointed at 1 Degree West, if only the finnish channels you are interested in, then a fixed dish will suffice. Thor 2/3 (0.8 West) and Intelsat (1 West) are co-locted - i.e. close enough so you don't have to rotate your dish, so pointed at 1West will be fine. You'll need a digital receiver with a CI (Common Interface Slot) a Conax CAM (for example _http://www.smartcardsdirect.co.uk/conax.htm) and a card from the provider Canal Digital - your finnish will be better than mine, start here: _http://www.canaldigital.fi/ - official cards in the UK: _http://www.digicams-uk.com/prod207.htm, but its probably cheaper to buy direct in Finland if you can. And no, your UK TV will be fine as you'll be using a scart socket. A UKTV would not work in Finalnd because the sound carrier is 0.5Mhz lower (IIRC) but only for terrestial analogue receptions. UK - is PAL I and Finland (like most Europe, except France) is PAL B/G - the only difference being the sound -cts @mkhu - french and finnish are not quite the same :) [/QUOTE]
