There are basically three options:
- SSR SRG the Swiss National network ( subscription)
- Kabelio – Swiss and various European channel (subscription)
- Swiss Free to Air Channels
SSR SRG
The main Italian, German and French -Swiss channels are encrypted, for citizens of Switzerland the card is made available via the Embassy or can be found online. There is an amount of red-tape to go through! The signal is ok all over the uk and I have a receiver proven to work well with the card.
With 2 lnbs the German channels can be added and with 3 lnbs the French-Swiss channels too.
78cm dish with all paytv channels
Satellite tv from Switzerland is mainly Subscription
SSR SRG has 2 French-Swiss, 2 Italian-Swiss and 4 German-Swiss Channels
The Main French Italian and German channels can be added
What receiver will I get with this package? I recommend the Technisat receiver for use with the SSR SRG card
Two ( or 3) lnb, coated steel 80cm dish from Triax or Technomate, with good low noise and high gain lnbs. This combination gives good signal strength in most uk areas.
Swiss Kabelio
78cm dish plus 12 month Card with all subscription channels

What receiver will I get with this package? The reliable and versatile Amiko 265, the latest in the HD mini series from Amiko.
Two (or 3 to include French) lnb, coated steel 80cm dish from Triax or Technomate, with good low noise and high gain lnbs. This combination gives good signal strength in most uk areas.
If you want to combine any Swiss Package with channels from another satellite, eg English Freesat , French or German, you can choose a motorised dish or a multi satellite dish . Many of the receivers reviewed on the site will control a motor or multi satellite dish including the Amiko HD
Motorised 1m dish can receive any satellite from 30 degrees west to 42 east, in most places.
Multi satellite Wide angle dish with up to 4 or 5 satellites on a Toroidal dish with 40 degree spread
Multi sat ( up to 4 or 5 satellites ) on a standard Parabolic dish – 20 degree spread
Where can I buy a Swiss smart card to watch tv on my tv via a box I have installed with a satellite dish?
Hi M, if you’re a Swiss citizen you can apply for a SSR SRG card or perhaps a better way is the new Kabelio card which operates on Hotbird.
