Is there a way to watch satellite channels on PC for free? [closed]

Question

Is there a way to watch satellite channels on PC for free? I am talking about some specific free-to-air channels.

I have technical details like satellite, band, transpoder Number, Downlink frequency etc. of the channel.

Is there a way I could translate all of this to watch this channel on PC, using some software or webapp?

	yes, but I thought there might be a webapp that has a dish and once I tell it the channel info, it simply streams the channel using its own dish. What I am saying is not technically impossible. – progtick Aug 16 '11 at 9:00
	Maybe so, but I'm not sure if this is legally possible. If you're looking for a web app, this is not the place to ask anyway. – slhck Aug 16 '11 at 9:07

	You could ask about a specific web app on Web Applications, but I can't promise anything. – slhck Aug 16 '11 at 10:15
