It airs Sunday, on the web 45mins after it finished airing.

Reruns. Great.

Will be aired April 4th in Denmark on Canal+, a fucking pay canal, bugger... :mad:

Canals are never free and often cost thousands of brown people.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No HBO in the German TV market, so probably SKYmovies will pick it up in a year or so, and in two years it will run on a cable channel I can watch, but only dubbed into German.

As with Band of Brothers I presume I will probably get this on DVD before it's on tv.

Yes I know, I am paying a lot already just to watch our national TV and public canals. Band of Brothers was first shown on one of the national TV stations here in Denmark, but this time it looks like I will have to wait  for 'The Pacific' to be released on dvd before I gets a chance to watch it... :(

:huh:  You have to pay to watch your national canals?  Are they owned by the government, then?  Do people from over the world come to watch them?

It's normal in most European countries that you pay a fee for TV. The state broadcasters in Germany use it to run an extensive infrastructure, and channel system (regional and national) buy the rights to sporting events, self produce movies, shows, documentaries, etc.

In Austria they use the fee to pay corrupt officials, make pro-government propaganda and generally flush it down the drain.

We pay a license to watch TV and other "media products", in return do we get a couple national TV canals and radio, so called public service canals, all but two are with out commercials...

:yes: that is how it was in Hungary as well, until they abolished this fee. Since then, they use general tax money for the same purpose. :)

Yeah, that's the upshot of it. German "main" public stations only show commercials until 8 pm, then it's commercial free. Austrian tv has commercials around the clock, but no commercial breaks during tv shows. High brow Franco-German arte and Austro-German-Swiss 3sat are commercial free, as are German regional stations.

You know, it's really depressing. I pay the same as I did in Germany. In Germany the quality of public tv was pretty good in terms of information, sports and - to some extent - entertainment, so I was fine with that. Over here it's a depressing waste of perfectly good money.

I Denmark, do we pay them a fucking lot of money, so the general mood are that they better be delivering a fucking lot of good television and they generally do so...

I wasn't aware Hungary had any canals.  What are their major ones?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
