Rob
I think that what you are experiencing is a fairly literal interpretation of
the R&TTED by the Turkish authorities (notably the Customs) - one of our own
clients experienced similar problems with satellite equipment recently,
although that did have an up-link transmitter included in the system.
I suspect that the interpretation results from the fact the external network
in question is your Virtual Private Network (VPN) since this may be
interpreted as meaning that your receiver is NOT considered excluded from
the R&TTED under Item 4 of Annex I "Equipment not covered by this Directive
as referred to in Article 1 (4), i.e.: "4. Receive only radio equipment
intended to be used solely for the reception of sound and TV broadcasting
services." and because it's use falls with the scope of Article 3(3),
(whereas a similar "domestic" receiver would be considered to be excluded).
Nevertheless I think you might still be able your R&TTED declaration using
just the EMCD & LVD evidence by virtue of the provisions of Article 3,
notably Article 3(1).
Our experience to-date suggests that you may also need the ANNEX II
Technical Documentation files to back up your submission.
Please contact me off-line if you need further assistance.

Subject: Satellite receiver
Group,
Grateful for your views...
I have been asked by the Turkish authorities to prove compliance to RTTE
directive, 1999/5 for a satellite receiver,
The unit sits between a satellite dish and our private network, it extracts
IP content from DVB Mpeg2 stream and delivers it via fast ethernet
Onto our network.
I already comply to EMC directive and LVD directive, I don't believe that
the RTTE directive applies.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Rob.
