Hobbies

handicrafts and geocaching here

What language(s) do you learn? I wouldn't call it a hobby, I just do it because there's a need but it's actually quite good fun that way. Vi kan snakke litt norsk hvis du liker det!? 

Norwegian if I'm not mistaken?

Ja! Det er en blandning av tysk og engelsk - perfekt for meg :)

I moved house in 2012 and that was the end of these hundreds of channels.

Now in flats I am relying on freeview and this is also an uncertain/challenge. Now the problem is reception.  Ariel is fixed on top of flats.  So atmospheric conditions determine reception.   In good conditions when I do a search I get many channels, when conditions deteriorate some of these channels are either unwatchable or have no sound.  

Yeah satellite is another world completely, if you actually want to watch the content of foreign programs  then its the way to go. I did used to have a motorised dish back in the 90s and 00s mainly for the music channels but I was always more interested in terrestrial long distance reception via unusual atmospheric conditions and have not bothered with satellite since we moved house 4 years ago. Its the technical challenge of dragging in these ultra weak signals plus the random aspect of being at your receiver at the right time.
