How to build a Satellite.
Over the past few weeks over here in the UK, the BBC has been running a series on "How to Build" Tomorrow evening (Sunday 27th November ) on BBC2 at 2100 hrs, the final programme in the series will be shown. It should prove of interest as the title is " How to Build a Satellite" and it looks at the construction, testing and launch of a communication satellite built by "Astrium" Whilst I appreciate it cannot be seen live perhaps outside of the UK , the BBC also provides a service for download of recent programmes shown and using its player software that can also be downloaded.

After it's been broadcast it should be viewable at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017wy06
The BBC try to stop people overseas viewing their shows so a proxy server would have to be used.
I've never tried it but have been told that Expat Shield (DM-232.exe) is software that reportedly enables people overseas to watch BBC TV http://www.ExpatShield.com/
