I've wondered this for a while, and it seems to fit on this thread. Do the main US networks broadcast unencrypted on satellite, or do you need a subscription to view them?

Not in a way that is widely publicized or made available. I have a dish aimed at 125W where PBS comes from. From what I understand, Fox is the only major network doing encryption, while the rest are in the clear, but they all require C-band rather than Ku except for PBS and NBC.

Thanks. That's very different to the UK Freesat system, which provides Free to air satellite to homes as a direct alternative to terrestrial, with most of the terrestrial channels available unencrypted.
