In simple terms, you can receive the shows which aren't scrambled with a Euro satellite receiver kit. To receive the scrambled broadcasts requires in addition a Cryptoworks CAM and card, plus an expensive subscription. By the way, the broadcasts are relayed from NHK in Japan via Intelsat 10 at 68.5 deg.E, C band 3744 Ghz H, 26600, 1/2 in FTA, but that would appear to require non-domestic kit as well as the right geographical position!
It's also on cable in some cities.
You can download the JSTV program schedule in English as a PDF. There are two JSTV channels on the satellite - I don't know what the second one is except that it's permanently scrambled.
