American Entertainment

Anyone have any idea where I can get American cable channels here in Japan? Or even be able to access the networks that are putting their stuff online.

Or would I just be better off getting them of the torrents? I really don't want to do that, but if there is no other way then.....so be it.

Earlier it was not possible but now with installation of dish TV, I think there is possibilty of getting the signal.

I am not sure about the local cable dealers, but have heard some through my friend. And it-seems many of them are willing to take dish television. as many companies have come up with their production in this field. I probably suggest you to take some dish television, which would be better than going for online stuff.

It will be a good idea to wish for a satellite television providers. Because they may help you in getting all the televisions displayed. We have got so many company offering such services. And if you do not have any, i think it will be a good idea to start such a service as a business there.

The internet may have what you seek.

There are some services out there that are P2P networks for streaming media. Just do a search for p2p streaming and you should find some infomation. Also, a lot of American networks stream their content on their websites for free.

you can get e2by skyperfect or skytv

I watch fox on skypa and it show shows like NCIS, Prision break, 2 and a half men csi and so on. However, if you want to download you will need a torrent site or p2p like pplive but these are not very good. I would maybe use a site like www.thepiratebay.org.
