Why is Ireland so averse to anyone receiving RTE outside of Ireland?

[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 800423, member: 325666"] If satellite service providers had their way ..All countries and borders would be circular ..as this would make 'containing' the overspill to a bare minumum easy The way things are going they may well get their way.. No they can't re-shape land masses but could conceivably cover any landmass with a plethora of smaller spot beams. Sadly this is the way things are heading ..as they now control the tech to shape or contour the broadcast area .. When they do ..our 'satellite' world will shrink ...and our hobby will effectively come to an end .. Sure they will never totally close overspill borders ..but they can close them down to dissipate quickly and reduce overspill to mere 10s of miles ..instead of 100s if not thousands as it was back in the days of Cband Analogue. rgds VS [/QUOTE]
