al-arabiya?

Is it possible to get al-arabiya in the US? It doesn't matter whether it is paid or not, I'm just curious whether it is even possible to get. I know I can get al-jazeera on DISH, but I can't find any info about al-arabiya.

Well, it says they broadcast to the US on Atlantic Bird 1, on the same frequency as al-iraqiya. It doesn't say it's free, but it's not clear how to get it.

For those of you who watch al-iraqiya, do you see al-arabiya, too?

It's crypted on Atlantic Bird 1 and I don't know wich cryptage they use:
You can get Al Irakya free on the same satellite.
