[QUOTE="timo_w2s, post: 952567, member: 196043"] Yes, it was possible to get Finnish TV on the coast in Estonia and was very popular. I still read on Estonian forums of people picking up the Finnish multiplexes but I think now that there are plenty of Estonian channels on offer the demand for Finnish TV might have dropped a little. In the early days of Estonian DTV they carried a few Finnish channels. I think cable TV still does. On the other side of the water, over here almost all properties in Helsinki with a terrestrial TV aerial had a Band I antenna pointing at Estonia in the 80s. I was never quite sure how many people actually watched the Estonian transmissions but it certainly seemed like they were installed as standard by installers. These days there aren't many left as there is no TV in Band I any more (perhaps still a bit more common than the old Band III aerials in the UK) but you do see a few newer UHF aerials pointing at Estonia put up by Estonians living here or people like me who want it just because it's there. You can get the national ETV on cable here but you need to pay for it. [/QUOTE]
