I feel that we, who are abroad, could pay them and they could see if their TV was sufficiently valuable to us. I phoned them, but after being referred to various departments decided that it would probably take a while until they would be interested in such a situation. I wish that they and other content companies, e.g. Al Jazera English, would, BY DEFAULT, distribute their content over the internet so that they would get an increase in their audiance and see how it worked out .
