It's interesting how many international channels there were. On German cable, there was only NED2 in the western regions, and DR1 (denmark) in the north. Berlin was interesting, but only via antenna. You got the german public channels (ARD, ZDF), the local one (SFB), two private ones (RTL and SAT1), the channels from east-germany (DDR1 and DDR2), the soviet all-union programme (TB CCCP), and the channels from the british and french army (BFBS-TV and TF1).

What's really interesting is that our first channel (ARD) is called "WDR 1" in the mosaic. I guess they got their feed from the TV tower in Langenberg on VHF channel 9, which was operated by WDR.

@@erwinschaddelee46 I envy you for that. When cable was analogue, we had around 35 channels, but almost nothing from abroad (apart from NED2, TRT (from Turkey) and CNN). I got myself a satellite dish so I could watch BBC1 and BBC2 (via the satellite on 30 deg east). On the digital cable, we have around 400 channels (rough guess, as I don"t have cable here), but most of it is trash and the things which I"d really be interested in (channels from The Netherlands, the UK, Belgium, Austria, etc.) are either not available or horrible expensive.

(the reason NED2 was popular here is that on German television movies from abroad are always dubbed, often badly. On NED2 movies were sent in the original language with subtitles).
