In many cases the programs are received by the cable company locally
by big dish sattelite = C band sattelite. A leading source of supplies
is a free catalog that you can request from  www.skyvision.com  While
aimed at retail I suspect they supply cable companies as well. Each
catalog has general information and advertisers. I suspect Comcast and
Dish Network
deal directly with the source such as www.disney.com which has several
C band channels.
 You can telephone 1 800 603 4142 (Netlink) for prices to descramble
almost all programs on USA C band. They can likely tell you how to
arrange to rebroadcast any of these channels.
 You may also find www.orbit.com helpful.   Neil
