I live in canada. About 4 years ago when we first installed our FTA satellite dish to receive the Telestar 5 (Intelsat America 5) programs, we were one of the only houses to have such a dish in our city!!!!! All the other dishes were form subscription programming companies such as BELL EXPRESS VU. Now out of the 10 houses in our neighborhood 4-5 of them have the FTA dish!!!! It certainly has become more popular!!!!
The word is that some of the IRANIAN TV stations on Telestar 5 have decided to go to another (cheaper) satellite!!!What does that mean for us Telestar viewers???Do we have get one of those DISH Rotators that cost about 100American Dollars, so that we can continue watching these channels once they move to the other satellite??
I tell you, its just ridiculous !!!!
These Iranian sattelite TV's have done nothing but cause more seperation amongst the Iranian people world wide!!!!
First by becoming Political channels and Non Political channels, Then by seperating theire satellites for Iran, Europe and Middle East

and now in theire latest efforts for trying to seperate theire satellites for broadcasting on North America!!!!


How far will they go????
