Reply to: European satellite channels

[darmstadt]

If it's in a language that I can't understand and can't be bothered to learn and please can I have a Watneys Red Barrel with my fish and chips, it's crap

Apart from Das Boot, which is wonderful.

FTFY

If it's in German, it's crap

The Lives of Others was an excellent film as well.

They really do have some great documentaries though, I still have one about the Ferrari factory that I've kept on my hard drive for years since I returned, and stuff like opera and classical music is top notch, if you like that sort of thing.

It's largely the same as British TV, but in German, and they have plenty of high quality documentaries, albeit in German as well.

How? Where do you live?

You'll never guess.

Well if it's of any help I get them without a satellite dish.

Actually I was after the German free to air channels. ZDR has films and documentaries etc.

I think it's safe to assume that I've never watched it but can make a sweeping generalisation having watched Eurotrash once.

FTFY






(* commercial channels are pretty crap though, much like UK commercial channels)

You probably don't need a satellite dish as nearly everything is available online without a special player:

Suity's in Luton remember, an extra satellite dish is a status symbol round there

I think it's safe to assume the content is just plain awful. Even today, British TV is amongst the best in the world which just tells you how bad the rest is!

Exceptions would be using it to get free sport presumably.

I found Dutch TV much better

and so on....

Italian TV is great, just like ours but with jumblies.

[stek]

What kind of dish do I need to go with it? How do I set it up?

You just climb onto the roof with your arm up an Emu's arse and see what happens...

Sorry, you've used your three questions already.

You are right, I have. Sorry.
