Basically, can I tune it in (as well as other foreign free-to-air ones) on satelite? Just got the dish today, use it for watching free digital stuff.

From what I read here you are out of luck. :mad: :mad: :mad: Is your interest Japaneese TV?

If you can get Hotbird 13E
JSTV sometimes is clear - usually for news.

Digi_Tilmitt · 23-11-2003 01:08AM

I want japanese TV, anything. How would I tune it in anyway?

Digi_Tilmitt,
When you say " just got the dish" do you mean $ky? Have a read here. What Capt'n Midnight says is spot on!!!.Keep the questions coming!!!

Digi_Tilmitt · 23-11-2003 01:23AM

I was just reading that now

Didn't get $ky, better no tv then tv with them. Just got it for stuff I could pick up free.

Greenman · 23-11-2003 01:33AM

So what did you get???

Digi_Tilmitt · 23-11-2003 01:46AM

The site says we can pick up some free-to-air stuff, but I'm a confused child so I emailed them.

I tried both those with no luck

do you have to have a special satelite or box? I have a panasonic box that has $ky written on the side of it even though i don't actually have $ky digital.

Yes, I have tuned in those channels on a Sky Box with success. I have lived in Japan for a few years, so it was interesting to watch them.

However, remember that your dish needs to be pointing in a different direction to receive them, as they are on a different satellite to the standard Sky channels!

hum....I guess my quest ends here so......

Greenman · 23-11-2003 05:31PM

Not so if you really want a bit of Japaneese TV. Have a look here.
