Thanks....but sadly none of the major carriers in the USA are broadcasting any Turkish TV channels at this time. That channel you quoted can only be seen in Europe and not in North America...and no matter how big a dish you get...you cannot see any European satellite from the USA directly....due to the curvature of the earth, cos Satellites can only been seen in a straight line footprint area, and not beyond the horizon curvature of the earth. So..unless a European channel is bounced from a Euro Sat and relayed to an American satelitte, it cannot be seen. In Florida we can only see satellites in geo-stationery orbit over the USA, Canada or Central America.

There is an FTA system (free to air system with unencrypted signals) in California that offers a package of 6 Turkish channels...but they do not carry that "Show TV" channel you mention. Only you guys in Europe can pick up those shows.

You could always tape Turkish tv wetlook scenes and trade with me....and I will send you free dvds or free pass memberships to my sites in exchange.

FYI....I hear that the Turkish cinema is very similar to "Bollywood"....in that they make 100% carbon copies of American made films...and re-make them for the Turkish audience....e.g. I have the Bollywood version of the movies "Splash" and "Tarzan the Ape Man"...and they copy Darryl Hannah and Bo Dereks wet scenes 100%...down to a tee. I know they make carbon copy movies in Turkey too...and I hear there is a Turkish version of the original Superman movie and they also copied the Valerie Perrine wet scene from that film too....so if you can track down a copy of the Turkish version of Superman...let me know.

ps...a trivia point for Anthony.....why the heck is "Bollywood" still called "Bollywood"....cos Bollywood was named after India's film industry that used to be in what used to be called "Bombay"....but Bombay is no longer called Bombay anymore....they re-named the city to "Mumbai" 10 years ago.....so...shouldn't the Indian film industry now be cally "Mummywood"......ha ha

MK,

The Survivor Series is on the Turkish TV channel "Show TV" on Saturday evenings. This evening at 23.45 hrs local time (= 21.45 GMT ?). although the guides say 22.00 (20.00 GMT) (I just called the tv channel, and they said it would be at 23.45)

Since you have a lot of dishes, you might be able to watch it. Here are the satellite data:

Türksat 2A 42' East

Frequency: 11.760 MHz

Polarisation: Horizontal, Symbol rate: 5.925 Ksym/s

FEC rate: 3/4

Unfortunately it seems that in Turkey the first program Rain Fan spoke about was already broadcasted last week... and I missed it... Who knows there will be more wetlook in the next programs.

FYI I checked the satellite schedule for Mega TV in the USA and they are not airing the Greek version of Survivor in the USA. It appears that there are 2 channels..Mega TV local channel in Greece, and the Mega Channel broadcast overseas in Australia and the USA is called Mega Cosmos and has a different programming schedule. So...I will have to leave it to you to find a way to tape those formal wear Survivor scenes....they are not airing it in the USA...at least not on the date you quoted. Perhaps they will show some highlights at a later date...who knows...
