British TV at long last!

Sling Brit!So, I finally managed to sort out British TV from my British SlingMedia box. I am delighted with the result. The first night Rose and I spent hours looking through the channels – if you like BBC America you would CRY at the comedy and news features available – 400 channels of British Brilliance. I must have spent 6 hours this week watching BBC news 24 alone. Unfortunately the wife must have also spent 6 hours watching Coronation Street (the UKs longest running soap opera – the opening credits and tune are enough to bring me out in hives). Anyways, its just one more little example of how an expat can maintain touch with his homeland where ever he is. He can sit watching Brit TV, Brit Ads, drinking Brit beer thinking of Britain. It's a smaller world brought about by technology. No complaints here – oh and I can also watch Brit tv on my Pda as well with the mobile player :)
