Not Dutch, but Danish !

This is an engineering test for 'Sky Entertainment' - one of two soon to
be launched channels aimed at the Scandinavian market via the (again
soon to be launched) Thor 2A satellite to be located at 0.8 degrees west
[co-sited with the existing Thor bird].

The two new services will *probably* use (at least initially) D2MAC
EuroCrypt encryption.

There are expected to be further engineering tests for both 'Sky
Entertainment' and its sister channel during the month of May.
