Hey all,

How do you watch non-UK television here? Television is becoming a groundbreaking medium, and it must be studied. But how can I do so when they do not offer the important new texts here?

Thank you.

What sort of television do you want to watch? US TV? Foreign language TV? If so, which languages? I believe the language labs in the Buchanan let you watch various international TV stations.

Thank you for quantum leaping from 1920 to be with us.

This just in! New Portable Refrigeration Technology Permits Produce From Anywhere! Stock Market Soaring, Naysayers Will Be Proven Wrong in Golden 1929!

Do not attempt to use UK TV to watch outside broadcasts.

Does anyone fancy coming round to see my microwave?

Are there many repeats?

You will require 1 x 80cm to 1.2m satellite dish. A positioner to drive said dish. A really good satellite receiver with DiSEqC or better still USALS and nice list of all the geo-stationary satellites with all the transponder and channel information. There are plenty of unencryped channels available that are non-UK, you just need to have the right kit.

As with anything in my life, the internet has the answers. If I want to watch non-UK television I can usually stream the program from a video hosting site or you could download your program via a torrent client but that's illegal so don't do that, I mean you wouldn't download a car...

Guys, stop skirting around the question. I'm sure we can directly reference links aggregators as they don't host copyrighted material.

www.surfthechannel.com links to a lot of stuff. What else is there?

Last time I used surfthechannel I found most of it just linked to Hulu now.

I usually go for the direct download method myself. That or torrent. Warez-bb.org normally has decent links.

[edit] But don't do that since it's illegal and naughty! Especially on resnet and they'll be sure to catch you when you direct download![/edit]

If I could download a car, I would do so immediately.

I've had pretty good luck with http://www.freeonlineepisodes.net/
It only allows you to watch a bit over an hour at a time and then wait an hour before the stream begins again, unless you shell out for the Megavideo subscription (which I have because I think it's kinda worth it).

And I for one got a kick out of your humorous attempt to justify the need for our American TV shows for personal edification.

You mean personal, intellectual edification, right?

Solve the intellectual puzzle.

Oh god. I'm rubbish at this sort of visual puzzle so I'm just going to throw out some words.

women as furniture
chameleon people
men of colour
people as objects
empty people

It's porn, Sen.

How strange. You must be one of those people who just sees clouds in the Rorschach test. (I don't do psychology, promise)
