> Hello DWDSAT user,

>
> Deutscher Wetterdienst offers selected meteorological data, the so-called
> Global dataset (GDS), for special terms and conditions. While we had to
> charge 145 Euro per year for the reception of these data, we can now offer
> the reception of these data for free of charge if you register with our
> special registration form and are a registered user of EUMETCast. The
> reception of EUMETCast can be managed by EUMETSAT. If you check other data
> in the DWDSAT registration form, you will be charged according to our
> price list. Please fill out this form and send it as attachment to
> dwdsat.subscribe@....
>
> The data can be received using an appropriate receiving-station (PC,
> DVB-card), which also allows the reception of EUMETCast (METEOSAT
> satellite images). Vice versa an EUMETCast receiver can also be used to
> receive DWDSAT.
>
> For further information about DWDSAT please contact: dwdsat@....

> Within the licencing procedure a fee of 100 Euro will be charged by

> LINUX). This fee of 100 Euro has to be paid in advance to Eumetsat
