Good evening. There is no Scotland or Ireland TV anywhere in the US arc that I am aware of. There are quite a few foreign channels (~125) on the Ku side of Galaxy
Free to air is a good hobby, If I can be of any more specific information, please feel free to e-mail. Pansat's URL is

Evansville is a good Town.My little doggy's Pro Pac dog food is made by Midwestern Pet Food,Inc in Evansville.I lived in Martinsville,Indiana in
1947.Anyway, back to FTA Satellite TV.I am Scotch Irish by ancestry and that is why I want to watch live Scotland and Ireland TV.If those two Countries are not in the arc, as you say, then I guess I will forget about it.Thanks anyway. cuhulin
Good afternoon. Yeah, I have never seen anything from there, about the closest is BBC and Deutche-Welle. If you ever see a channel in Lyngsat that you would want and need to know the least expensive way to get it, just let me know.

You have to be careful reading Lyngsat. For example, there is one satellite with FTA BBC (several channels), ITV, and a bunch of other U.K. programs. I can "see" it from my backyard with no trouble.
However, I can't receive it's signals. They are concentrated in a spot beam, so you can get away with a small dish in the U.K., but here you can't receive it with a 9 meter dish. :-(
It's not Lyngsat's fault, you have to check coverage maps too.
Look at

Recently, a day or two ago, a guy in Ireland, in an Irish computer newsgroup, he said he wants/wanted to watch ITV. He said, But he can not watch ITV unless he is in the UK.I pay about $55.00 per month for my DirecTV service.Total Choice, something like that. If I could watch live Ireland and Scotland TV with a FTA Satellite TV rig, (legally, that is) I would go for it.
About seven years ago, with my WebTV box, I used to watch taped replays of news, weather, and sports programs from Ireland.Every afternoon around 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM, I used to click on that.Windows Media, whatever it was/is.MSNTV (WebTV) can't/won't allow us webbys (WebTV people) watch those Irish taped replays or other taped replay programs anymore.Those Irish tv station taped replays were stop acrion/freeze action, sort of like on some of those movies we watch on tv.Chuck Harder
Good afternoon. That is correct, there are also many different transmission methods such as DigiCipher, 4:2:0, 4:2:2, standard definition, high definition, etc. This is my hobby as well as business, so if anyone has any doubt about the ability to view any specific signal in the continental US, I will be happy to share what would be required to receive it.
Thanks, Lee Richards>
