A Telenor Satellite Ku-band satellite at 0.8°W serving Scandinavia with direct-to-home broadcasting. Thor satellites are Norway's national satellite infrastructure, broadcasting to Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish homes from a position optimized for northern European coverage. The Thor position at 0.8°W is Scandinavia's primary satellite television neighborhood — the northern equivalent of Europe's Astra 19.2°E, where Nordic households point their dishes to receive public and commercial television.
