The problem is that a DTH service is only as good as the channels it offers, and the Pakistani DTH service is going to offer garbage. Case in point; PTCL Smarttv.
I have the DishTV unit installed now, but there are a few channels that don't work: Signal Not Found. Ten Sports India is not working and I really want that. I will have to call back that guy today because I asked him if a 2 ft dish would be enough and he said yes. Apparently, this is not the case.
Also, I emailed the DishTV people and they gave me the details of their authorized seller in Pakistan. So, apparently DishTV is not illegal to use in Pakistan from DishTV's perspective. Anyone want those details, let me know.
