Dr.Dish:
Yes, the commercial Dutch stations are encrypted. At this moment different
digtial receivers are offered in the UK. Be carefull what you are buying,
because you get thw wrong box, not suitable for the later coming UK-package.
A german d-box was been offered via a satellite show by Eric Wiltshire on
Nov.6 via Eutelsat IIF3 for araiund 700 pound which more then twice of the
original price. Furthermore Eric told the audience this box would receive
everything. A misleading information. My advice: just wait a little bit
until it is known which system will be used in the UK (I believe it will be
Philips).
