A Canaldigitaal smart card must be registered at a Dutch address and paid for with a Dutch account number.
- Dish placement There are some preconditions when installing a dish.

In addition, a dish cannot be placed in a place where there is no sunlight. A dish must always be facing south in order to make good contact with the satellite.
