 Hi.
I live in Turku, and am getting Sky digital.
I don't subscribe to Sky, but get channel 4/5 with the free to view card.
As mentioned astra 2a/b I can get, some break up on south beam during certain parts of the day. No luck at all with 2d.
panasonic sky digital box.(silver colour, cant remember the model at the moment)
Standard LNB.
Dish is about 2.2 m


>>I have read all reports..but is there anyone in
>>finland who is watching sky digital?I would like to
>>hear from them..signal strenghts and so on..what box
>>use...
