....what,s it like,that is the tv prgs you get in your country of choice?

Here in Spain daytime and evening tv is crap.However in the wee small hours it gets better with good films and docs (in Spanish,of course).Problem is that films have lots of commercial breaks and each one lasts for twenty minutes,by which time I,ve dropped off or lost the will to live.Hence my local video club does a roaring trade.Also,it really is quite disgraceful that Spanish tv cut all the closing credits if a film is not Spanish.

One,being involved in film making I do want to see who did what.

Two,I like the closing credits for graphic study or any extra bits the film makers included.

Finally,all Spanish film cd,s hammer home anti piracy issues stating how important it is for the producers to get credit for their work,yet Spanish tv denies those self same people the public credit they are entitled to.frustrated

I don`t watch TV. Never. It bores me to tears.

Only if a particularly good movie is brought home, and HIGHLY recomended to watch will I grace the area in front of the set.

Oh, sometimes, if bored (bored?) I may watch a wild comedy if it makes me laugh. .... >or sometimes a documentary may catch my attention ... if its about animals.........

But I never believe anything serious I hear on TV - its all "La-la" land stuff ....... you can invent anything with a camera....

Yup, I agree, it certainly is. Kinda like interactive TV, only with people you like, not just bad actoer, although there are a few of those too.


My TV has been in the shed for almost 3 years...wonder if it still works.confused

I've got Swiss and French TV. Just watch the news and a few series late at night when it comes to be Sci-Fi.

Just download british documentaries and series and some films that interest me.

Can watch also some shows if it's about stuff or actors I appreciate.
