Does any one know anything about international satellite tv? I would like to get digiturk, but found nothing.

Question

I've searched online and have found what satellite digiturk comes across on, but don't know how to get access to a satellite system that allows me to watch this turkish network. Please help

Answer 1

It looks like you can get Digiturk most anywhere in Europe except for parts of Scandinavia although dish size required will vary depending where you are.

http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/ew3a_eurb.html (Most DigiTurk channels on this one)

http://www.lyngsat-maps.com/maps/turk2a_west.html (Most FTA Turkish channels here, one DigiTurk encrypted transponder)

If you're outside of this area, i.e. North America, you're out of luck.

DigiTurk is a satellite service which is encrypted. They use Cryptworks Irdeto 2. I'm not sure if they'd be willing to activate your box with a CAM or if it would even work, but you may have to get your box directly from them in Turkey, and perhaps have a Turkish address for them to bill although you could pay with your credit card.

Otherwise, there are free individual channels you can get with just any old FTA receiver and Ku band dish. A couple are even available in North America like TRT international, Samanyolu TV Amerika, and Nur TV. Here's a list of them:

Most are on satellites only visible in Europe except the 3 I mentioned for North America on Galaxy 25. A couple will work for Australia as well. Let me know if you need any additional help.
