Yeah, I know. Maybe next summer. It seems trivial to get an original Sky UK subscription even if outside the UK. So many dealers offer this. It's a shame nobody does this for Swedish Pay TV.

If anyone knows any satellite distributors or agents anywhere that would sell me a legal viasat subscription, I'd happily contact them. Unfortunately, I know none. I've surfed the internet extensively and been at all local retailers.

Hi, Yes, it's not legal to obtain a Canal Digital or Viasat subscription outside Sweden even if you're a citizen living abroad, I think. There's a separate channel SVT Europe for people abroad but it's a very restricted offering. If it was just the smartcard, it wouldn't be so bad. But I...

Hi, I'm fairly new to some of less popular European satellites and am having a hard time understanding what's going wrong. Any advice is very much appreciated. I'm trying to move my motorised dish to Atlantic Bird 3 at 5° W. I seem to have located the satellite and have good signal strength...
