Calling all Brit couch potatoes

[notmyaisle]

What do you do for a tv fix in HK?
I know you can get some shows on BBCiplayer and Channel4.com but does anyone have recommendations on UK programming availability.

I'm guessing the satellite tv is very Australian/US based or am I talking rubbish.

You're talking rubbish. There's no legal satellite TV for a start.

The main source of TV is NOW TV. You can see the selection of channels on their site.

You learn something new every day!

Thanks for the link, PDLM - will check it out.

Actually, to be strictly correct, I should have said that there is very little legal satellite TV.

UKNova. That is all.

NOW TV carries BBC Entertainment, BBC World, the BBC channel for kiddies (can't remember the name) and the documentary channel (again, forgot name). Bear in mind it's all about 10 years out of date .... fine for me because I left the UK more than 10 years ago!

To the plonker who red-dotted post #2 ("friendly aren't ye"), re-read post #1. Since you clearly don't understand British English or modes of speech you shouldn't presume to criticise it.

Indeed. Surely The Donald (the one with the bow-tie, not the one with the hair piece) wouldn't do anything illegal

also keep in mind that with bbc entertainment once you have watched it for about 3 months you will have seen the entire schedule for the next two years which just loops around and around with the odd 'new' show thown in! Or it least it feels that way...pretty sure we watched the same seriers of doctor who a good 5 times over the last 18months before the 'new' one came around...

I strongly suspect that the dishes in his garden are his hotline to Beijing, not for TV.
