Life / An Englishman wanting to watch TV in Poland [51]

Thanks InWroclaw and Warszawski, I will look into those options. And InWroclaw, yes, it is quite a new tv - less than a year old.

Wulkan, I do want to learn Polish - I never said I didn't; in fact, one of the reasons that I would want access to TV is to watch Polish TV to help me learn. However, if there was an option to include English-language shows in a cable package then I would want to include that too.

Having said that, I almost never watched TV when I was in England, so I don't know how much more I would watch over here (whatever language it was in). The main reason I would consider buying a cable package though would be for the football - which would have Polish commentary. In fact, if I could get a package that showed the football but no English-language shows then I might take it, but I would not take a package that included English-language shows but no football.

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!!
