Japanese Stations

[jpesc]

I'm located on the east coast, I would like to see some japanese tv stations can anyone tell me what kind of setup I would need or if I could even accomplish that. I have a fairly good sky view and I'm new to fta, but even if I have to subscribe to some programming, I would like to receive more than 1 station.

Thanks

I don't know of any Japanese stations on FTA except for TVJapan and you need a C-band dish (6 foot or larger) for that

NHK World TV is available on Intelsat 9 58.0°W C-Band with a 1.2 Meter Dish or larger dish.

How about subscription type, I don't mind paying for it, all I'm trying to find out is how many stations and what kind of equipment do I need it really does not matter whether it's free or subscription.

Thanks

TV Japan is available from Dish Network for 25$ a month (DISH Network -- International)
I couldn't find any Japanese channels from DirecTV or GlobeCast.

spare yourself the $25 fee on dishnetwork. consider IPTV

I've managed to find at least 25 Japanese channels from TV. happy surfing. The 58W satellite is quite low on the horizon, but not impossible. I'd say spare yourself the satellite installation & go with free IPTV.
