It was on yesterday evening - a repeat of course (but new to me since I went without UK TV for nearly 30 years).

The couple were in Puglia and were (re) building a B&B complex all on their own. Looks nice and seems to have been successful as they still have a website still up and running

Italian TV just got too much to bear when the elections were on, so I finally got around to sorting it out this January. Oh why didn't I do it earlier?

Yes, you're right . .it's politics every night, or trash ..

Luckily I have Italian Sky so there is some respite with occasional films and American dramas/comedies .. as if they're any better!

When I got FilmOn to work on the telly (see other thread) OH immediately said..oh good, can we get rid of Sky now? ... bless!

I just bought a digital sat box, had Mr Antenna man move the dish angle and hey presto, I've got UK TV (while it lasts ). It was Jenny G. who told me what to do.

Well done . .not worth the effort though as far as I'm concerned. Plus I can forsee various problems, and I am *not* getting up on that roof!

Oh Mark it is SO worth the effort and you dont have to get up on the roof.
Our dish is on the balcony. It just means that you can watch brilliant documentaries on Channel 4 and BBC with David Attenborough and all the team and loads and loads of comedy (old and new ... reruns of Fawlty Towers and all that!!!)......you know you have to do it
