Life / An Englishman wanting to watch TV in Poland [51]
Hello,
I am new here (just registered today, this is my first post) although I have looked at the site over the past few months - it's been quite helpful!
Basically, I was wondering what my options are for watching TV over in Poland. I moved here a few months ago and brought the TV I bought in England which I have so far only really used to watch films etc from my external hard drive that plugs in by USB. I tried connecting an old aerial that I found in the flat that I live in; however, although it picked up 3 or 4 channels, the picture quality was terrible (plus it was all in Polish). I'm guessing I could buy a decent aerial and pick up the free channels, but I have heard that the shows aren't that great and there are very few (if any) English language shows.
I have tried looking online and seen various packages such as cyfra etc. but have not been able to understand what comes with them. Are there any channels offering English-speaking tv shows? Apart from English-speaking tv shows, I would be looking to watch the football (mainly the Premiership and Champions league). As far as I can tell, it is available on Canal +. I saw one package that offered this but, as far as I could tell, it was for a 12 month contract at about 120PLN per month, although this did come with loads of other channels too. Is there a cheaper way? I have seen something about pre-pay cards, would they work?
Basically, if there is any information that could be of help that would be awesome.
Thanks for any help!!
