According to http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/sssat05.htm , :
Hardcore Channels on the Sky Digital Satellite
Two 24 hour hardcore satellite channels are now transmitting from EuroBird at 28.5 degrees. This is the same satellite as used by Sky Digital so Sky viewers can receive it without a change to their dish. Unfortunately it uses a different encryption system so needs a new European receiver that has a slot for a Cam (PC card reader). One would then need to purchase a Transglobal Cam (Usually about £70 and a viewing card as priced below). I think most receivers can be daisy chained together but I am not sure on the details of doing that. Perhaps a reader can help out with the details of a dual receiver setup.
Both channels are available Eurobird 12.511 GHz vertical and are encrypted in DreamCrypt (Which may be decoded by a Transglobal Cam. The annual subscription cost is 89 Euro and that will decode both channels.
In addition there is a softcore live sex channel, eUrotic TV, on the same transponder. It will be interesting to see if it is any more adventurous than UK channels as it does not have to comply with the heavy handed regulation from Ofcom
