While the big, secret selling point of dishes at the time was the opportunity to buy an illegal descrambler for subscription Dutch channel TV1000, which showed an uncensored hardcore porn movie every Saturday night (this at a time when hardcore was still entirely illegal to sell in the UK), for viewers less committed, the German channels were still pretty eye-opening. People might have bought their dish to watch movies or sport or simply to expand their channel choices, but with the Sky system came a whole bunch of European channels – mostly German, and all broadcast in the clear. In the pre-digital age, satellite Tv was broadcast on Europe-wide systems, the most popular of which was, of course, the Astra satellite that Sky was hosted on. The rise of satellite TV in the UK at the end of the 1980s brought a whole new world of entertainment to British viewers who had previously been stuck with the four channels available on terrestrial broadcast – and it wasn’t just Sky that provided it.
