That tactic sounds ineffectual.

CN etc requires boxes and satellites over there right?(here, for Austar/Foxtel, therre's a set top box, where the actual channel changing etc. is done plus satellite dish which is the reason we stopped, mountains interfered with signal too much.)

Would it not be far simpler to build into the boxes a rudimentally monitoring system, then by the same mechanism by which the signal is aquired by the satellite, send it's finding in?
