I would say yes. There are several questions that are pertinent. Is your power supply capable of 220 VAC and do you have an adapter plug? Their AC plugs should be considered a weapon, quite large compared to the US type. What are you going to use for a display? A TV or monitor. In the event you are using a TV then it will be in PAL, don't know if that still applies with their current digital mode. You could always use the AV input. This brings up the next item; is it the regular AV input using RCA phono type or is it using SCART type. In case of the latter then you should be able to get an adapter in-country. Personally, I would not hesitate to take it along at least you know what you have and how to work it. Make sure to check the LYNGSAT site to see what birds are available. Most likely you'll use SKY or ASTRO birds. You should have a good choice of FTA. Check LYNGSAT before you go to get an idea. I hope that this was of some help. Take some extra F connectors and cable just to be on the safe side. What are you going to use for a dish and LNB ?
Thanks for that quick reply. I was wondering about the PAL/NTSC thing and wondered if that was still an issue with HDMI. As for the SCART plugs, I had forgot all about those hideous things, they are monsters.....lol
There is only HDMI so Composite is not an issue.
It accepts a 12Vdc Power Source so that should be easy.
For the size of the unit, I think I will take it along and just see what happens.

You might find this thread useful. It has a UDF file with a European sat list for 70 East to 37.5 West: http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/thr...37-5w-ku-s-europe-footprint-2-13-2013.305085/
Yes you can take it with you. You can program in any bird you like around the world. Just make sure to have the proper power adapter. You can even download European Sat lists for it.
