We've BBC1, BBC2, BBC Prime, BBC World and on flemish /dutch TV they have many british programmes as well.
The programme about Mrs Bucket is famous in Belgium, especially in Flanders I think. It's called another thing, not the title you've written. Maybe it's called Schone Schijn but I'm not sure. Probably Akoni will know it.
You're right, it's called Schone Schijn in Belgium. Is it dubbed into Flemish?
I don't think that it's dubbed as the flemish TV put subtitles like in Holland. In wallonie, all the foreign language programmes are dubbed but I prefer subtitles.
What different language channels have you- Afrikaans, English (British and South African) I suppose, but what more?
We've those British channels, walloon RTBF 1,2, flemish 1,2 & VTM, holladn 1,2,3, France 1,2,3,4,5, TV5, Rai 1,2,3, Spain TVE International, Germany ZDF, and another one, CNN and more!!!
I have five channels — BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4, and Five.
We also have digital, which apparently includes a number of other channels, but I never watch it because I don't know how to use that television. I know, I'm really lazy — I've never bothered to learn how to use the digital box.
And when I move to Scotland, I will literally have access to only four channels — BBC1, BBC2, STV and Channel 4. And no option of having digital, cable or satellite either. Not that I actually watch much television though, so I'm not really that bothered.
During the last about 2 years I didn't watch television at all, but before I watched and some things are worth it to see. It's very nice to have the different languages TV.
Only 4 channels!!!??!!! But of course the most important is that the programmes are interesting, and one channel can be sufficient if it broadcast good things. Our digital channels are frm the WiFi and the decoder. It's *very* simple so I suppose your system's another one. Probably soon I will watch TV again.
In Scotland is there a channel in Scots and/or gaelic? Here there's not a channel in walloon.

What different language channels have you- Afrikaans, English (British and South African) I suppose, but what more?
Four free-on-air channels, three run by the state broadcaster (South African Broadcasting Corporation) and one private channel (e-tv). SABC1 and SABC2 broadcast in all eleven official languages (each in five or six) and SABC3 in English. e-tv is mainly English as well.
We also have DStv, which is satellite (not cable) television with about 60 channels (including CNN, Sky News, BBC World, BBC Prime, Travel Channel, History Channel, etc, also a wide range of movie channels, one channel each in Dutch, French, German, Portuguese, Greek and a few other languages, and a number of local channels). DStv also has two Afrikaans channels. Its fairly cheap, works out at around €40 per month.
A second satellite television service will be launched in the next year or two. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.

You've many channels!! Have you digital TV from the internet?
Still in an experimental phase, but the biggest cell phone company has already started with TV broadcasts on cell phones (mobile phones).
We're switching to digital TV completely next year, dropping analog. _________________ Toe ek jonk was, het ek al die antwoorde geken. Nou verstaan ek nie eens die vrae nie.
In Scotland is there a channel in Scots and/or gaelic?
STV make a few programmes in Scottish-Gaelic. I don't think that there are any programmes made specifically in Scots, although it might often be sort of merged with English.
I have digital cable, so I get a huge range of specialized cable channels. Unfortunately I don't really have access to much foreign-language programming - just a couple Spanish networks, plus "HBO Latino".
Over here, we have a few terrestrial channels that are free to all who pay their annual licence fee: Channel 5 (English language programmes), Channel 8 (Chinese language), Channel U (Chinese language), Suria (Malay language) and Central (plays a dual role of both a children's entertainment channel as well as a platform for Tamil and Hindi programmes).
On top of that, we also have a channel dedicated to news around the clock in English: Channel News Asia.
I have cable TV and the cost depends on the sort of programme package which you have signed up for. I have HBO, Cinemax, CH95 (Zee Sports Cricket Channel), TV5 Monde, DW-TV, CH 96 (an Australian channel which I forgot), ESPN, Starsports, AXN, etc. It is not too expensive but there are quite a number of channels which are actually surplus to the programme package such as the cricket channel which costs me around SGD 80 a month alone. ESPN and Starsports cost me an additionao SGD 20. That makes 100 dollars (or roughly 50 euros) more in additional costs alone. _________________ Hillary Clinton is an acquired taste which I have clearly yet to acquire.
I don't know how many channels I have access to. Languages available : French, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Chinese, Arabic, Berber, Russian, Polish, Armenian (and perhaps some more).
All this western tv thingies always impress me. How come that you can have channels in so many different foreign languages? OK, you have sattelite TV, but here with sputnik, i can watch again mostly Russian channels.
I have access to about 17-20 channels in Russian (well it's normal thing for everyone), if i buy sattelite tv, then probably i'll have about 30 channels in Russian together, like o2tv (teen's channel, RuTV - only russian music, channel with only Russian films, sport, etc.), even if i choose channels like Discovery, it's dubbed in Russian, Euronews, Eurosport are also in Russian...you can watch CNN of course but it's expensive as hell _________________
I´ve got digital cabletv with aprox. 50 channels.
Here in Swdeden we swiched over completely to digital tv last year.
Sometimes when my friends comes over and we´re a bit drunk we watch the pornchannels and have a laugh. Hmm
I've had no cable or satellite service for months. Can't say that I've missed it, either. I live with a guy, so when we had TV reception, it was always tuned to a sports channel ... sadly, I never saw any porn. Just the occasional boob shot on Skinemax. _________________ An apple a day....

I haven't had cable for many years. Unfortunately, the programming on the standard channels has greatly deteriorated over the years. After midnight, there's hardly anything but infomercials on the English language stations, and primetime TV seems to be mostly cop shows or reality shows. I mainly use my TV for watching videos, but I also watch DW-TV, BBC World news, programs on Chinese language stations when they have English subtitles, and as much as I can stomach of the Spanish language stations. They don't have great programming either, but I can tolerate the news and movies...well, some of them.
I get many French channels on ADSL tv. I also get many German channels, one Dutch BVN tv, some Spanish and CNN, BBC World and Sky news via a dish aerial.
