D i s h n e t w o r k is beamed to north america only and has spotbeams
on transponders to really narrow the viewing area even within
the U.S..
D i r e c t v isn't hacked and can't be received on fta receivers anyway
because they use a non standard format.
The other sats mentioned may be a mix of C band and Ku band.
Ku band tp's generally start in the 117xx freq range for transponders.
Don't get excited over C band listings unless you have a BIG dish and
C band receiver.
