As mentioned in your other post:
You can view any FTA, Free to Air, channel, anywhere in the world, providing you can pick them up on a satellite dish, the problem is that satellites have a limited footprint, especially the more modern satellites which tend to use spot beams.

You can find rough guides, of various satellite footprints, on sites like flysat, kingofsat and lyngsat, that will provide approximate maps of the size of satellite dish required to receive various channels, e.g.:
Code:

There are other methods of receiving channels, like a slingbox, where you can use your internet connection, which might be one way of viewing these channels.
