Exclamation Re: Foreign TV channels

Hi Sim,

Alas, NDR isn't available at all via Sky, encrypted or unencrypted. I don't think you can even get this channel in the UK, without a large, motorised satellite dish, and an expensive satellite signal decoder box. Sorry.

The only German channel on Sky, as far as I know, is on Sky EPG Channel 794 - DWTV, but I don't know if that will be of any help. For more details about what channels you can get on Sky, just click on this useful list here!

Re: Foreign TV channels

Fortunately I have a motorised satellite dish and an expensive decoder...... we currently use hotbird and recieve a lot of foreign channels that we use for off air recording (we are licensed to record off air), but i didnt want to find out the long and lat of astra, and move the dish just to find out if we can get NDR...... Its one for one person who wants us to record a documentary about a scandal with a german eurovision band.

We dont use sky at all...... wast of money blah!

Hi Simm667, NDR is available on Astra 19e and it is a free to air channel.
