[liberationtech] Research on illegal satellite receivers?

[Brian Conley]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of research into illegal satellite dishes,
particularly where there is a state broadcaster and other services are
tightly controlled or outright illegal. I'm doing some research into the
feasibility of broadcasting satellite news into such countries, but
wondering how practical it really is to expect locals to modify dishes or
purchase illegal decoders.

Thanks as always!
