0 Regulations for Internet TV

You know it is amazing just how much regulation there is in satellite television. If you happen to look at the history of satellite TV, you will see what I mean. Many countries have prevented their citizens from viewing neighboring satellite TV channels. I guess protectionism will never die.

The first commercial satellite: Intelisat 1 was the first commercial satellite in geo-synchronous orbit. If you know satellite TV you may know it as "Early Bird." It has been in the sky since 1965. There were earlier communication satellites, but this was the first commercial one.

Canada's Restrictions: What I did find really interesting is how much Canada has restricted satellite viewing. Canadians cannot get Direct TV or their channels, well not legally. They find ways on the gray market or even the black market to get them.

Satellite Pirates: Canadian satellite providers continue to be plagued by the devices sold on the black market which "pirate" or "steal" their signals. They also have problems with completely lawful devices which can be reprogrammed to receive "pirate" TV. Arrrgggh matey! There can be no official statistics, but the use of American satellite services in Canada appears to be declining. Some claim this is probably due to a combination of the exchange rate between the Canadian and U.S. currencies and increasingly aggressive police enforcement. Whatever the reason, there seems to be a decline.

What really is happening: I offer another reason. Internet satellite TV. Inter satellite TV has been available for a while, but it has really taken off as the economy has gone south. Which makes me wonder why when something is bad, people say "it goes south." Sorry for the digression. I believe that there are subscribers finding the legal way to get TV from where ever you are.Satellite TV on the internet bypasses all of the transmission regulations that apply to television, so you can what whatever channels you like from where you want to watch them. No wonder so many people have started going in that direction.

0 Regulations: Right now there are no regulations concerning the satellite TV on the internet. I am sure the governments of this world will try to get their hands in our pockets with taxes and fees, but for now, we are all safe.

9 Foot Dish to 2 Foot Dish to No Dish - Satellite TV - Entertainment - Television

The 9 foot Dish: I remember when to have satellite TV, you needed a giant dish that made it look like you were a part of the space program and a special receiver. Starting prices were around $1500 to $2000 to get the equipment and have it installed. Then, you could get a lot of channels for free, but most of the "good channels" required some sort of subscription. The trouble is you would have to switch satellites to get decent programs. If your "actuator" (the gizmo that moved the dish) broke, you were out of luck. One of those cost around $150. The 2 Foot Dish: Then, the little dish came along, easier to get installed, but now you have to pay to get anything. Even if you only watch commercial TV on it, you still need to pay and the subscriptions were long term. The other problem was there were no local channels. Basic subscriptions were around $50 to $75 a month after the $300-$400 installation fee. Sometimes you have multiple subscriptions, even though you ha...
