I have seen companies such as LaruTV.com and NashDomTV.com who sell Russian TV with archives via set top box. Their service was better in terms of picture quality, amount of channels and of course ability to watch any program at my will, since they are archived. I have a friend in NYC and in one in LA, both are happy. I am thinking to get a box for New Years. There is a web site that seems to be around for a bit, BestRussianTV.com. I read good reviews about them, but they only offer online TV, over 50 channels...
