For what it's worth, when I was overseas last year, I saw tournaments on 
satellite TV on Satellite F1, transponder (channel) 17, with Japanese and 
English audio both available.  The broadcast was about an hour and a half 
and it was live; i.e. about 2:30 or 3:30 until 4:00 or 5:00.  I believe 
it was the NHK or BS feed to New York.
