My company has moved us to a new compound, and so we have a new satellite system. Seven hundred plus channels. About six in languages I speak.

I just went through the whole thing. Amongst other things, I see to get the Vietnamese News Channel. A couple of Thai channels. I have a half-dozen Italian channels which show naked women who will talk to you on the phone. They have access numbers for Arabic speakers.

I get all three Saudi channels. One of them seems to be a live feed of the security camera at the Grand Mosque in Mecca.

A bunch of Russian music channels. Lots of American videos on all these channels.

I get Entertainment Tonight. Wonderful.

You got anything interesting on your system?

The usual Free To Air stuff on T5.  
Iraqui TV during the war until it got blown up. :rolleyes: Palestinian TV had a talk show in English that was bizarre. They went off air, whether financial or explosive I don’t know.  
New feeds during the war.  
Domestic news feeds on C Band.  
Once heard a blues song on a Canadian satellite that I’ve never heard again: “You know I’ve got a few bad habits baby, but the one I’m going to lose is you.”
