Hi,
I doubt that there are satellites above the US that broadcast our TV channels, so that's probably not an option.
And regarding the price, I'm just asking myself how expensive it is really for us to watch the championships "for free". The rights to broadcast them in our public channels have been quite expensive (how much exactly? Don't know) and have been paid by us indirectly with the GEZ tax already (well, at least by those who still are honest enough to pay it :P ).
While I agree that there most probably hadn't been any kind of "deal" between the two, the weak parade from the goalkeeper that led to the late 2:2 looked a bit strange... :unsure:
