No, unfortunately you cannot capture any satellite transmitting the UK terrestrial channels, you may also be disappointed in the BBC's sport coverage, it is a shadow of its former self.

Is it possible to get any of the European sats that broadcast Eurosport in Canada?
They are showing most of the MotoGP live again this season. World Superbikes seems to be mainly highlights programmes though.

He's well over the horizon in Canada and can't physically 'see' the European satellites. Even if he could, the transmitted beams are going nowhere near him unfortunately.

Oh well, just a thought.
I'm suprised there isn't better coverage on some of the US sats though.

You may be able to pick up the odd bit of racing here channelchooser.com and you can stream any channel from the Sky package (paid by the two hour slot) at broadbandcb.com/book.htm
