myAFN FAQ: „Q: Who is authorized to acquire an AFN decoder? A: … Authorized viewers are limited to: active duty military assigned/deployed overseas; direct-hire Department of Defense and Department of State employees serving overseas; military retirees living overseas; and, the family members accompanying these personnel overseas. The commercial television program owners and distributors license their products for distribution on AFN based upon this limited audience. United States Department of Defense regulations and policies enable authorized AFN viewers to acquire the AFN decoder necessary to receive the AFN radio and television services. By restricting access we protect the licenses and copyrights of the programming provided to AFN by U.S. broadcast networks and distributors. If you are not an authorized viewer, you are ineligible to acquire an AFN decoder.“ (aufgerufen 13. Februar 2008)
