with the right equipment and some technical "know-how"
there is a way to receive satellite signals: You can do this legally (limited to free, un-ecrypted broadcasts) or illegally (stations which are encrypted).
However, most satellite companies have cracked down pretty hard against "illegal TV" and requires pirates to constantly update their encryption keys many times a day, which makes it require more effort than what most people are able to put up with. (I guess it depends how far people are willing to go to save a buck)
I wouldn't doubt the pirates have since come up with a more efficient way of doing things, but your best bet is to have your friend ask, as I doubt this topic can be discussed here
