Here in the States I watch lots of Spanish Language TV stations off a pair of satellites....it is free....not stealing it. These signals are called FTA which stands for Free To Air. The sources want people to watch or even rebroadcast.
It does take a dish which is a little bigger than the dish network or other subscription network (pay every month) uses, their satellites are higher power. The dish needed for FTA is 39" by 36". It looks like a bigger version of the 20" pizza sized pay for it satellite TV dish.
I watch four TV channels from Havana. Five from Spain. Al Jazera, Marti (VOA to cuba) Saudi, Iranian, al Jazera and lots of radio feeds, Cuba, Radio France International.
if you are curious go to
sadoun.com
and click on the satellite TV section. There is a list of the several dozen free satellites beaming to America Latina and North America.
Anyway, the antenna is just a little too big to get onto the aircraft without paying too much. I might cut mine in half and bolt it back together in Cuenca. But before I do that.... Does anyone know of a dealer or other channel for purchase of a 39" Ku band 24degree offset dish? It would be all the electronic entertainment I'll need as I take up residence.
So, any satellite TV dealers who import these dishes?
