Does anyone know of any satellites which carry these types of channels around this part of the world?

Thanks

Plenty round near 180 degrees, although the Earth gets in the way for European viewers.

In Europe you are limited to

CCTV4 & 9 on Hotbird (both fta)
Phoenix & CCTV9 on Astra2 (fta)
JSTV on Hotbird (NHK news programmes fta, full channel about 300 ukp a year)

Theres a couple of scrambled Chinese language channels too on 19E and 13E

Go here:

and search on language.

Tagamoushi's Castle (or whatever its called) is on one of the 28E channels (Living maybe)

You won't get much from the JSTV channel anyway, It's the equivalent of BBC Prime. mostly general entertainment for expats.
The most wierd stuff I saw in Japan was on cable cannels.

Does anyone know of any satellites which carry these types of channels around this part of the world?

Thanks

Takeshi's Castle is on Challenge TV. It used to be on DSF, along with the similar show Sports Bakka (Challenger on Fire).

Sports Bakka! The word bakka in Japanese is (if I remember correctly) a very impolite way of calling someone an idiot, a literal translation would be "retard" or "spaz"!
