Just watched the Panorama documentary on North Korea which I found quite fascinating. I know that their state channel KCTV can be streamed online but is it possible to watch it via satellite in the UK? I see it's available on Thaicom 5 and Intelsat 21 but I've never attempted those sats on my motorised dish - has anyone had any success, is it even possible? :D

Easiet to get was when it was relayed on 10E back in late 2011 when Kim Jong-Il died. Id like to see a permanent Europe transmission

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.
