The surface area of the island of Taiwan is extremely small and, being situated close to the center of East Asia, it is surrounded by countries like Japan, Korea, mainland China and those of Southeast Asia; with all Asia striving hard to develop satellite broadcasting over recent years, it is very hard for Taiwan not to come within the sweep of their television waves.
台灣海島面積狹小，地理位置接近亞洲中心，有日本、韓國、中國大陸及東南亞等地環繞，近年亞洲各地致力發展衛星電視廣播時，台灣很難不被它們的電波掃到。
