OK C band satellite is the HUGE monster dishes like the size of a car. Ku band is among the lines of Dish and Direct TV owned by Hughes with ground based control sites all over the planet. NOT THE SAME BAND. OK They are different in programming and there are many ways TV hops around the world, you can even pick up their own feeds OUTSIDE of normal distrubutors by pointing things of fun at specific transponders. C band is mostly used for RAW feeds and not content delivery, although like stated you can intercept them. Just clarifying.

Personal Opinion:

Dictators weren't put into place after ww2 in the middle east. They siezed control through violence. Old Monarchies were re-established based on input from middle east leaders of the time and some remain. Some established Democracies and changed to latin based languages.

The British are not to blame for ww2, fascism and socialism are to blame as pussy footed countrymen let a political party roll over them without a blink because they believed that no action was better and less of a threat to them that picking up a sword; accept one and they know who they are.
