MSNBC is available on sat fta across Europe - albeit not "officially" at this stage, why not in this region ??
CNN USA and HLN used to be available in Europe (EUCOM) FTA, and the feeds still pop up periodically,but the main signal on Telstar 11 (Since moved to Telstar 12) was encrypted due to some silly yank/s putting their "classified" Nato missions in the Balkans and Middle East FTA on the same bird for all the world to see. Needless to say someone dropped the dime,had his two minutes of fame whilst everyone else got a blank screen.
Probably dreaming here, but others they could cherry pick amongst others to whack on the epg, Sky News UK (huge expat market) , BBC News UK, Al Jazeera English, Russia Today, CCTV 9 English, Press TV, France 24 English..Not to mention of course Channel 9 Adelaide and Perth which Select through the WIN Corportation just happen to own.
