I've got a PC HDMI'd into my TV on which I connect to a UK VPN which then allows me to watch BBC iPlayer, ITV, 4oD and CH5

Got an app for my iPhone that allows me to stream LBC radio wherever I am (though the connection speed is a little unreliable when driving).

For food my local SuperGiant has pickled onions, mushy peas, Colemans mustard, Branston, PG Tips and real baked beans (varies between Heinz and Bachelors) regularly. Also get intermittent supplies of choccy digestives, hob nobs, malteasers, minstrels, picalilly, Robinsons squash and a few other odds and sods.

Take an hour or so drive every few months to Best of Britain in Lancaster PA to stock up on pork pies, crisps, Bisto, Schweppes lemonade and some sweets.

Also got Stoney's pub just up the road which has some of the best fish and chips ever along with a couple of reasonable Indian restaurants.

The majority of what I watch, listen to and eat is American though.

What do I most want to find? A real kebab shop.

I have that app, too, but there's another one called Radio, which allows you to stream anything you can find on this site, OTHER than the BBC stations, which you can get on the site, but not on the app, for some reason.. I listen to 5 Live every day at work from this site, but it's not on a time delay, so I generally miss the Kermode and Mayo film reviews on Fridays now, as they finish at 9am EST. Still, that's what the podcast is for.

I have BBC America on FIOS, but don't really watch it that much. Other than that I get most of my news from Brit podcasts, and pick up other things I miss like Marmite and Branston wherever I find it. When I get some extra time, now I'm quite close to it, I recommend a place called The Butcher Block in Queens, which is a supermarket, butcher's and prepared food (like steak and kidney pies, etc.) place. Loved it when I lived out here, and it's only a few stops (40th Street) on the 7 Train from Manhattan in a pleasant old Irish neighborhood.
