A Directv receiver in the States and a long (very, very long) cable -
in other words: Not possible.

Geography gets in the way - the satellites delivering the services you |

Can't be done.
You will have to watch European television instead, featuring
European programmes like 'the Simpsons' and CSI.

Eh, a direct TV receiver and a PC in the US, and send the stream over the |
internet.
Should be possible.
If the TV provider used a PCI card so much simpler.
