Well, foreign-registered planes might have
pirate decoders, as it is not against the law
in many foreign countries to steal US signals.
The law that applies in any aircraft is the country
where the aircraft is registered.



As I recall, planes with pirate decoders will not be permitted to fly over
US airspace. Modern technology has enabled DirectTV to block the signal
from going beyond the US. This is why JetBlue does not have this feature
on flights to Bermuda.


I hope that you know more about Air Travel than you do about satellite
technology!!

He's just trolling, as usual. It's what he considers his great "contribution" to the newsgroup.


What particular discussions have you "contributed" to?
