Can you connect to dish network or direct tv satellite in Germany?

I am military in ramstein germany i have a satellite dish and was wondering if i could get the either the direct tv or dish network satellite? If i can i was going to order the whole thing from the US cause satellite here sucks. I dont wanna pay 100 euro a month for 10 english channels :-( I'd rather haft to DVR all my shows then pay for crap that will be playing at a convenient time to me.|||If you can get hold of a sky dish and box readily available now second hand you should be able to pick freeview channels up in Germany as the Sat's are all above you, we are ex military who caravan a lot in france and have no trouble picking sky up. directions for tuning are found on the web|||Both Directv and Dish Network use satellites which are geostationary orbit roughly 25,000 miles up over the equator. The antenna's on these satelittes are pointed at the US.

Short answer. No, it will not work where you are.|||No, but you can sling box it from a US receiver to Germany so you can watch, especially if you are a US troop stationed there!
