Has anyone bought a dish to watch Thai programs in the US?

I want to surprize my wife with Thai television programs, but I have no idea where to start.

You can actually get many major Thai channels for free (free as in subscription free) from the USA. I think will find enough channels to please your wife on Telstar 5. Google the terms "Telstar 5" and "Thai".

As far as cost, you can easily do it for less than $200 installed I am sure. If you find a technician to install your parts, the parts can run you about $120 on ebay. Most any city with more than 50k residents will have at least one shop that can do this for you. Call around and ask who can install a 'Free To Air' system or a 'C or KU band system'.

In my web search I found a few companies near me doing full systems + installation for a single room @ $149! Best of luck to you.

Edited: The link given above actually confirms it is Telstar 5, and also gives some decent pricing.
