At last! Watching BBC, but does it have to be Top Gear?

After months of lobbying our landlord we have got a sat dish at long last.

So what are we watching? Top Gear.

Suppose it is better than rugby

We have BBC Prime here - we were so excited at 1st and it's still good but it's all Prime suspect, waking the dead, silent witness etc etc - police dramas.

They do show dr who on a sat night though which is great

What you need is a 2nd hand Sky Box plus a non subscription freeview card. Point the dish in the right direction and hey presto you get free Channel 4 & Channel Five, Five Life, Five US plus the usual Sky News etc. We even get S4C so can watch the rugby in Welsh (I'm in Austria!). Bizarre really as my sister lives in N Wales and can't get terrestrial S4C.
