noob satellite question

[lench]

hey im not too sure if this is the right place to post but here it goes anyway
i know that there are a limited number of satellites you can recieve here i was wondering how do you pick up international channels that arent on the satellites you can view directly? is there a way to indirectly access these sats/channels?
if you can what kind of equipment would you need?

The satellites viewable in this part of the world are all located on an Arc,
called the Clarke belt,,, our coverage ranges from 68 degrees east [only
viewable in WA] over to 180 degrees east. These are a mixture of C and Ku
band, some satellites carry both bands.
The C-band satellites carry the international stuff, which in this part of
the world is mostly Asian and Chinese language, To view these satellites you
will require a minimum size dish of 2.4 metres, be it mesh or solid..
A specially designed mount called a Polar or Horizon to Horizon mount is
used, This is configured to track the Clark Belt,
You will only view these satellites regardless of dish size, and satellites
outside the range of view, or look angle are not excusable, regardless of
what you have been told.

Approx 75E is as low as you will get there.
