I know others will give you the help you need but from my understanding, outside of Japan, sumo is available only through Satellite broadcasts. ;-)

This actually IS Japanese TV... I don't think foreign TV stations would transmit Sumo live, but I could be wrong. It is possible though to receive Sumo broadcast by satellite from many locations though, but could become quite expensive. Or so I understand it.

The simple and inexpensive solution is the web stream...

(Oops! ) I forgot to mention somethin.... Banzuke.com has short movie clips uploaded by a very king gentleman named Dale.

Is there PPV available anywhere?

As far as I know the Satellite service is purchased by the month. I have never heard of PPV for Sumo. I know some people have talked about getting the satellite service just for Sumo 6 times a year, and once each tournament is over, they cancel their subscription and renew it when the next tournament starts. ;-)

The satellite coverage in my area (NZ) requires that you sign on for two months, so that would not work...

I'd like to offer something to help you but in the sumo forum we don't have a single thing!- Otoko (Spooky TV program...)

Dish Network has an "ala Carte" option of various international channels.

TVJ is a sort of package channel that includes programs from a couple channels, mostly NHK. And, of course, there is sumo coverage. It costs $25 a month, but sometimes you can get it on a "special" for $18. Anyway, you can get it by the month, and so on....

(Blowing up furiously...) thanx!

That's the info I needed, because- since I'm from bosnia and the law isn't obeyed in any way we can get just about every channel there is for free. Well you have to pay some money to your dealer, but you get tons of channels for the money that you would normally pay for one per year or so. We can even go around PPV thing that's why I was asking.
