[QUOTE="johnfused, post: 583721, member: 314346"] Overpriced is an understatement. However, there are two channels, the second being radio, which in the afternoon to mid-evening airs repeats of earlier TV programmes. SKY 516 now has free NHK channel (Nippon Housou Kyoku or Japan Broadcast Office (not its offical English moniker, but it's so-called Japan's BBC... but much better.)) A lot of the programmes I've seen at an earlier date on JSTV appear later on 'NHK'; sometimes dubbed, sometimes with subs. Some of my favourite programmes can now be seen by those who cannot understand Japanese and cannot stand the very limiting knockabout stuff that is shown on British TV like Tarrant, Takeshi's Castle etc. I wish I knew who to contact at SKY-NHK. You mentioned the films on JSTV -- no, they are not subbed in English. I put some of the stuff from JSTV onto youtube but mostly onto veoh.com which has no size/length limit. Search 'johfused'. Back to the price -- JSTV is (I presume) aimed at ex-pat businessmen in Europe, Middle East, N. Africa, so I suppose their company is paying -- a little perk for living so far from civilisation... which is true, I suppose. When I stumbled on this site, the JSTV site being down it seems, I thought 'Oh, goodie, just what I've always wanted, somewhere to chat with other fans.' Huh! GOtta go - am missing Chibi Maruko-chan!
