You should be able to get all of the satellite information from http://www.lyngsat.com , if the antipodean Sky is similar to the northern hemisphere, then you'll need a dedicated receiver.

Unfortunately Daza, NDS Videoguard is mainly only available via a dedicated Videoguard receiver. There has been a Videoguard Cam produced for the Italian market, but I'm not sure if a) it was actually released and whether it would work with anything other than the Italian version of Videoguard.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 20-May-02 AT 11:10 AM (GMT)]Hi again
I think what you are saying is that DVB Videoguard is a different
scrambling technique than what multidec and dvb card are decrambling
is this so? rararar this dont sound to good to me ;) i thought sky tv scrambling would be the same all over the world.
Thanks again
DAZA

P:s one more thing what dedicated Videoguard receiver do think i should purchase and whats a cam sry for being so dumb but
when it comes to this im green as........

The receivers have an embedded conditional access module or CAM as more generally known, so you will need to buy the one for the region you are trying to watch.
