It all depends on who the cable or satellite provider is. The general rule of thumb in the UK is choose SKY Digital. They have everything and are comparable to Direct TV. They show all the US Channels including FOX, HBO, CBS, CNN, etc, etc. There are about 400-500 channels in total. The neat thing about them is that when you watch a sporting event, you can use your remote to choose which angle you see the action from.<br /><br />Then you have Time Warner cable. Who in my time in the States have sucked all kinds of (#$$&^%#). Bad service, bad choice...as Michael Jackson would say 'It's BAD'. <br /><br />Then you have hotel TV, which is the worst of the worst. Which I am afraid is what you are experiencing right now Tom. However, do not fear...when you go to Krakow, you will experience much worse. I found only one channel that spoke English and that was a news channel which was on a 2 hour loop.
