TAR: Foreign Language Cable/Satellite Service

[Shelley Paul <sbpaul@MINDSPRING.COM>]

Hi, All --
I have been asked to determine the best way to "feed" French, Spanish, German and 
Japanese television to our Middle and High School Foreign Language classrooms. We 
have free cable TV from the local provider, but there is not much media offering on 
the FL front. Do any of you subscribe to a satellite service? Or have suggestions 
about whom I should contact? The school is willing to foot the bill for the 
dish(es) and subscription if there's a reasonable way to hook it up (signal fed 
through existing cable wires?) Another possibility I'd like to consider is 
streaming media -- anybody know of any resources there?

This is my first assignment from a new director and I'd like to impress him -- I 
love that I knew exactly where to start my research!!

Thanks in advance!

Shelley Paul
