Us Hdtv
Hi guys
Is there anyway that we can get the American satellite over here?
For example Heroes/Lost/CSI etc.. is in HD and many other American shows. I know there are loads of HD recievers available but not sure were to start. As i am sick of Downloading these episodes and converting them through my xbox.
If this is possible what would i need?
cheers

Pretty poor drawing but it should give you some idea, satellites can't see round corners...

Re: Us Hdtv
You could try contacting Roskosmos or RKA, the russian equivalent of NASA for a small fee they would be willing to put a satellite into orbit, I also think they will manufacture said satellite for an additonal fee, all you'd need to do then is buy the TV material from the american distributers and you're all sorted.
