International Streaming TV

November 25, 2004 8:01 AM

When we got satellite TV I was disappointed by the nearly non-existent international channels. Now with bittorrent and broadband it seems I could redress that problem, but I'm having difficulty finding sites that have trackers for television programs from countries other than the US. Someone here pointed me to the excellent uknova for British programs, but what about sources for languages other than english?

Whuh? If you're in the USA and you're not getting international channels, you're not looking hard enough. Here's a few thousand. Ok, maybe just 1,000.

Response by poster: Sorry, shepd, I should have given more detail:

1)Directtv, not Dish network.
2) Apartment complex with shared large dishes so repositioning wouldn't be an option.

But thanks!

Could you be more specific as to which languages (and genres) you are looking for, or are you interested in sites that have non-U.S. material in general? Having said that, d-addicts is a site that has Asian language TV dramas, most with English subtitles.

The latter. That's why I left it open ended. D-addicts looks interesting, thanks!
