wondering why it isn't possible with TV but which is possible in
radio.

No. TV signals are mostly line of sight. So are satellite signals.

Look upwww.lyngsat.comfor information about what satellites you
can "see" from your location. Then there is the issue of proper
antennas, receivers, decoders and for encrypted signals, decryption
keys (usually paid for if available at all).

There is also the issue of PAL and SECAM signals versus NTSC.
Multisystem TV sets are common, but not in the U.S.

Where exactly are you?

Many thanks for everyone who replied in this thread. I'm in
Chennai, South India. When I was young, I have seen TV channel of Sri
Lanka using the antenna http://www.ccrane.com/images/medium/winegard-
outdoor-tv-antenna.jpg; currently this antenna is no more used here.
Everyone opted for Dish antenna which is operated by some local guys
(it's a connection with rent). Nowadays, we're getting another pay
based (where dish will be given to each person) for the digital
channels. Again the price and subscription is too high.

I'm still wondering why can't I use previous antenna but with
powerful boosters?
