Welcome to the Forum

DishNetwork does provide international channels, what it involves i don't know. only seen Ukrainian programming listed ....
any questions can be answered by Dish Network or maybe somone in the Dish Network forum can help

several channels listed on lyngsat @

these are listed as FTA and would need a 30inch dish or bigger and a receiver

these seem to be mostly christian programming but some others

TBN - Russia -----http://www.tbnrussia.org
Russia Today -- http://www.russiatoday.ru/test/
Rodnoy http://www.rodnoy.tv/

Dish offers russian programming at 61.5º and 148º

Russion TV is not available at 61.5 or 148 unless you are already subscribed to those channels. All new russian TV subscribers must use a DISH 500 Plus dish. This dish receives 119, 110 and satellite 118 which is a Kuband FSS satellite.

I was unaware of that. Thanks for the correction.

See ya

Here is a chart showing what dishes are required for each satellite network if you want to use a single dish to receive more than one satellite.
