Red-Hot Dutch or Red Hot Television[1] was the brand name of a Dutch pornographic pay-per-view television channel. The station was scrambled and a decoding device was needed to view it. It could be viewed in Britain in the 1990s, but broke regulations. The decoding device was banned in Britain,[2] but a workaround was easily obtained, a Low-noise blocker.[3]

It later switched transmitting from Holland, to Scandinavia. The Home Office later outlawed the import or manufacturing of the decoder and the subscription cards.[4]
