You can reportedly receive NASA TV on certain Dish and DirecTV systems
that have *previously* subscribed to the service. You can Google
around for more specific information on this.

Also, if you live near JPL, you can receive a simulcast of many NASA TV
events (including shuttle mission coverage) on a handheld scanner on
448.500 MHz.
