In the 90's I regularly watched Belgian stations on a PAL set sold in
Germany so it's not SECAM. Don't know if the PAL used in the UK is
exactly the same as on the continent.
Yes, Belgium had PAL, ...
Does their weather man still mention on cold winter days whether
"Menneken Piss" in Brussels is able to do its job?
Manneke Piss, I have seen him in Brussels ;-)
Have not watched Belgian TV for ages, at least for me, I use digital
satellite TV now, I have a motorised dish, and get about 6 or more strong
satellites, total of several hundred free programs in almost as many ( :-) )
languages, for example German, Dutch, English, Greek, Chinese, Russian,
several East European languages, French, Arabic stations, we even have relayed
South American stations here (Chile etc), Cuba I have seen, only absent here
is the US, although some German station did carry CBS talk shows IIRC.
We have HDTV now making its inroads, surround sound, hundreds of radio channels.
I would be daft to get cable or put up an analog antenna to watch the 3 only
analog Dutch stations.... and the Dutch TV on satellite is pay TV, you need a
card, so result: have not watched Dutch TV for years, guess what: missed
nothing (HINT to Dutch TV go FTA (Free To Air).
Same movies make their way from country to country it seems.
Now there is also something called DVB-T coming (DVB-S is satellite),
DVB-S2 is high def satellite, DVB-T is terrestrial digital (called here digitenne).
Also DVB-T is pay, and it is not where I am yet.
Lots of people here have a dish, it is the best thing there is, you can
watch other cultures, verify local news against the source, I even watched
the last hours of Iraq TV while madman GW Bush the horrible bombed it, the
picture shaking and finally going of air.
And I have been following Chinese lessons via the CCTV4 Chinese transmissions.
No it is not your old TV scene anymore in Europe :-)
I Have a TV card in the PC to record and time shift, wrote much of the software
for that myself, look here:
