To watch the games, ration-card holders in South Korea must pay for the satellite dish and rent the service monthly through the Army and Air Force Exchange Service. The dish costs about $80. The decoder costs $25 a month, which must be paid using a Military Star Card credit card. |
I’m not sure how true all of this is. In Europe Military members can get a decoder form there local housing office on loan for the period of there time on station. AFN is free it costs nothing to watch. There is no ration card. I am pretty it is sure it is the same world wide. Sometimes members can rent a decoder form there local BX. PX or NEX maybe that is what they are talking about. I have never heard of anyone paying for AFN services. As for the dish they can me acquired for
€ 25.00 in the local sat shops. It would be stupid to rent one.
