They also have European-wide DSat rights for such things as Sports events.
Perhaps they were a little more advanced in that respect, although the issue is less relevant now.
When I lived in Germany my nearest shop was a mile up the road, which by chance happened to be in a different country. I did used to smile as I walked freely over a dismantled border post and past a sign which announced I had entered another country. (I am easily amused)
