Is it possible to have someone buy, and register a dish in the US, and then have it shipped here and pick up American television?
I know it's possible with Vonage (and you get a local US phone number), but how about this?
I didn't bother to search other threads... I'm lazy. |

I kinda doubt it since, as I seem to recall, those satellites are in geosynchronous orbit so they're physically on the other side of the planet from us. |

It is definitely impossible. It can not hit the sat |

But major companies like DirectTV, or whoever, might have service in Asia that communicates between sats... do you know for a fact it won't work, or are you speculating? |

I already checked with a buddy who works for Bell Canada awhile back and he said (like a previous poster mentioned) that the satellites have a specific "footprint" which means that a satellite like Bell's Express Vu only works in North America, not over here. |

|
|
I'm looking to buy just a satellite dish and set it up to receive FTA (free-to-air) channels.
Where can I buy a satellite dish, LNB, and receiver with help to set it up in Seoul?
