Default Soaps - Corrie and Eastenders - How ?

Hi,

I'm new here so please be gentle

My wife and I are planning on moving to Florida in the next few months (E-2 Visa). She has been hassling me about not being able to watch her beloved Corrie and Eastenders (she's addicted!) in Florida.

Does anybody know of a way to get these in Florida i.e. download the episodes from the net or purchase them on video / DVD ??

Many Thanks

Lee

UKNova seems to be a reliable source of EE and CS. It helps feed my Big Brother habit.

Can you actually watch it there? I just had a quick look and could only find a load of stills and storylines.

...move to Seattle. They show both Emmerdale and Corrie on the public TV here.

I couldn't stand either of them when I lived in the UK, so somehow I don't think I'll be tuning in...they probably clash with Law and Order School Crossing Patrol or CSI:Boise anyway

I must be doing something wrong - just tried to watch a prog I downloaded from the UKNova site, but neither RealOne player nor Windows Media player could open it (it was a mpg file) Can anyone help?

Hey, I live near Seattle - Kent to be exact, which isn't very far away - and I've never heard of Emmerdale and Corrie being shown on public tv. However, when we went up to Vancouver B.C. they were shown there on public tv. Do you know something I don't? Please tell!!! I have Dish TV so I thought I got just about all the stations I could get, including the useless BBC America.

It's free. I make a donation every now and then to make sure the site stays up and running.

You could also try VLC, the only file I've had problems with from UKNova I got to run using VLC.

UKNova is fabulous.
