A guy on another non sat site was asking about tamil language stations.I thought 97 but as always its hard to tell anything on that site as its only 1or 2 letter description.Anyone know of a site that has tamil ?Costa has the arc covered but thats alot of posts to go through lol

Aside from 118.8 there aren't too many fta Indian or Tamil channels that I can think of. There was a Punjabi channel on AMC 1 but it's gone, many on 97w. If you can tell me specific channel names that your friend is looking for I can probably be of more assistance.

Well he sent me a message today.One channel his parents would like to get is Sun TV.I didnt see that on anything except Euro birds.The other he mentioned was TVI but I think thats probably only on on rogers or Bev.Probably any that are listed here would be ok.

Nothing on FTA Ku birds for North America, (there may be a few on "C" band) there are quite a few on DN but you need a subbed box for them.

I was thinking maybe the Asian satellites, "C" band on Intelsat 8 has a beam viewable from the west coast of the US and has a few Asian channels on it, (for any of the other ones you would have to be in Hawaii) but I don’t know where this guy lives.

He'd have to be really west in order to see that bird. Atlantic side sats are almost all exclusively Spanish and Pertuguese with few exceptions.
