Portable Satellite Cable TV???

I'll be moving to Colombia in about a year, the outskirts of Armenia.

I'm pretty attached to the sports and news coverage in the U.S.

Does anyone know if, for example, I subscribe to DirecTV in the US and continue to pay for it in the US, should I be able to bing the satellite and receivers to Colombia and have them work there?? Assuming of course, that I can point them to the right satellite.

Since most of the stateside satellite cable providers 'point' their satellites south, I would assume that their satellites would cover Colombia and I should be able to do this. Does anyone have firm confirmation of this?

Thank you very much,

El GoLdo

U.S. TV Check this link out about receiving U.S. TV in Colombia, http://slingbox.com, if everything is correct I'll be buying one in April when I return to the U.S., I think Wal-Mart even sells the unit for about $289.

If it works like it says it should be a great deal.

Best Wishes,
Bob
