How to receive thousands of satellite channels

An amazing story in the New York Times reads like a science fiction pastiche of the last century:

Lee Si-kap, a shy farmer living in this central South Korean town, holds a record: He owns more satellite dishes than any other South Korean — 85 of them, receiving 1,500 satellite television channels from more than 100 countries, some as far away as South Africa and Canada.
