Taiwan's "Channel 4": Taiwan certainly does not forbid direct satellite broadcasting. In 1989 the government allowed people to manufacture and install "small ears," as small dish receivers are colloquially called. This means people can watch Japanese and English programs on Japan's NHK.
台灣並不禁止衛星直播電視，一九八九年政府已開放民眾裝設俗稱「小耳朵」的接收器，觀看日本 NHK（放送協會）的日語或英語節目。
