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.

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?
