Default What antenna for receiving video signal from ISS ?

Hi,

I live in Europe. I 'd like to know if it could be possible to receive video
signal from ISS (the one usually sent to Houston) when it crosses the sky
over europe and display the pictures on a normal TV (not via NASA TV).

Could it be possible to pick up the signal with a normal satellite dish (and
of what diameter) and on which frequencies ?
In addition, could the signal be encrypted to prevent any reading ?

I haven't found any information about that on the net but I could imagine
that we you are able to pick up radio communication from ISS and NASA can
receive their video, it could be also possible to receive the video as well
(in the same way at weather imags).

Thanks for your lights
