TV Channel Question
 
Hi, I do not wish to get a ugly sky minidish slapped on the side of my house so ive ruled out that option but I want to tune into Korean TV like MBC, KBS 1 + KBS 2, SBS, Orion Cinema network...

Does NTL actually broadcast any korean shows or is there anyway to get them over the network?

If not T_T

Thanx in advance for any responses.

The only satellite I can find KBS1 or 2 is on Koreasat 3, which is not available in Europe. Its signals are focused on South Korea.

Sorry.

You will be able to recieve quite a lot of foreign TV channels on Astra but you will need a far bigger dish than Sky Digital has.

You mean Astra 1 at 19E? You can pick it up with a minidish but it will be very susceptable to problems with weather. A 60cm dish would be OK 80cm would be better, and if you got a monoblock LNB you could pick up two satellites (Astra and Hotbird) from the same dish.
There's a lot of European channels available on Astra 1 and Hotbird at 13E, but only two Korean (both Hotbird, and one of those is encrypted) Channel Sun http://www.channelsun.com/ and Arirang http://www.arirangtv.com/english/index.asp

You wouldn't really be able to use your Sky STB on Astra1 or Hotbird.

Thanx for the Info - I already watch Arirang online :) I dont really see the point of having a huge dish on my house though if im only going to pickup Channel sun as a extra :/

Thanx alot anyway i appreciate it :)
