I get NASA TV via Dish Network. As far as I know, they are the only public carrier that has it.
It seems NASA TV used to be carried on Ku band sat Europe and was discontinued about 2 years ago.

AMC 6 @ 72W seems to be the most easterly satellite that carries NASA TV, that's way below my usable horizon, plus the footprint doesn't extend far enough east. Also, I only have an 80cm dish.

With the Chinese launching their lunar probe today and the seemingly renewed cold-war mentality in Russia, it might not be long before the propagandists make sure NASA TV is a "must carry" all over the EU.

The Chinese (English language) coverage from CCTV-9 was quite interesting this morning. A lot more open than I expected.
