Mainly, I want to watch live Ireland and Scotland TV on Free To Air
Satellite TV, I don't want to tie up my computer with TV.Somebody once
said something (in another newsgroup) about a certain Satellite in orbit
over Gibralta.

Most people using the smaller dishes are not going for the polar
mount, but are using the Motek SG2100. This motor is pirated all over
China, so who knows if you can get the real thing these days. Probably
not from ebay.

Then of course the FTA receiver. I got a Nuesat SP-6000 ($40) for
starters, but I'll probably upgrade,

Here's a You Tube tutorial:

I don't know for sure, but I think three foot satellite dishes have been
outlawed here in Jackson,Mississippi.About nine years ago, with my WebTV
box, I could view a taped replay/digitally recorded/whatever, of a news
weather and sports tv program from a tv station in Dublin,Ireland.Of
course it was a sort of a stop action/break action viewing experience,
if you know what I mean? miso, can you actually pick up live Ireland and
Scotland (Wales too) tv with your satellite equipment? in good quality?

About three sumpin months ago, a guy was installing Dish Network
satellite tv equipment at one of the houses next door to doggy's couch.I
asked him if he knows about Free To Air (FTA) satellite tv, and if I buy
the equipment, will he install it for me.He said he knows about FTA and
he can't install FTA for me.(Company policy, I suppose, he could get
fired if he did) He also said most people in America don't know about
FTA.I think he is right.

I reckon as how I will lets my fangers do the walkin in my Jackson phone
book and see what I can find.I think those elderly people at the Hooper
Sound store on Terry Road might know.

Oh, Boo Hoo, Woe is me,,, Woe is me,,, all I wants to do is watch Live
Ireland and Scotland (Wales too) Free To Air Satellite TV.

CONUS, there are no restrictions on dishes 1 meter or less, per FCC
and thus federal law. You may be able to use larger dishes, but
anything over 1 meter is subject to local restrictions. I wouldn't go
bigger than 1.2 meters.

The small dishes used by Dish or Direct won't cut it.

Many of the shows on FTA are available on the net. I haven't seen it
happen in the US, but the DoD has bought time on satellites targeted
to the EU and put UAV video on them.

I have a suspicion you will like the Saturday Night Knife and Gun
Show.
