Ok. It seems to me that for the Italians there is not any other service available rather than RAI international on cable and satellite in the US.

I know a lot of web site with minor local Italian TV station with poor quality but ....I am looking for other TV station, the most popular >>> Rai1,Rai2,Rai3,RaiSport,Canale5,Italia1,Rete4,LA7, SportItalia,Euronews,Nuvolari.......; these are typically free TV channel (no encryption) available in European Satellite Hotbird (13degree EST).

I am very curios to know how many Italians would be happy to pay US $20 for 10-15 good Italian Channel like above in good qualitity and legal with 6hrs programming shift . I would be the first to pay because I am already paying $9.99 with RAI International that is very boring.......

may be I am dreaming a service like this.........
