Heh..heh... friends or relatives of the Federal Govt own this station and is a monopoly business for whole Malaysia too. That is why you can not own a satellite dish, I don't see why is illegal, there are hundred of satellites up in the sky and many are free TV stations from Taiwan, China, India, Thailand and North America. In Canada I can watch CCTV 4, English, French and Spanish and MAC....宏觀. I did not pay to watch TV for many years. I watch local news through antennas and Satellite CCTV4 news which is as good as CNN.
