The problem with using satelite is that i'd need a TV and that would
get expensive. Not because a TV+satelite set is expensive but rather
because of the taxes i'd have to pay. And even more because these
taxes go to people whos program i don't watch... don't want to watch.

So, i'd prefere an internet based solution.

Yes, youtube might be an alternative, but it contains only
a very small selection of the tv program.
