I’ve got you situation in reverse, sushiman.
My wife is from Sasebo and so we get the TVJapan satellite station. Next month, DishNetwork is dumping TVJapan and AT&T is picking it up on their DirecTV satellite.
Fortunately our cable provider here in Georgia can supply TVJapan. I watch no U.S. TV, but I get a kick out of Japanese programming as a diversion, such as the Taiga dramas.
Maybe I’m just about the only one but, I get sling or Vue for the 4 months per year of college football season and I get nothing the other 8 months.
Oh I watch plenty of TV....documentaries mostly. It’s just that I can download just about any TV program I want from YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Veoh, or torrents. I store them on one terabyte external hard drives until I watch them then delete. I watch what I want, when I want for free with no commercials. I’ve been doing it for years. There is lots of great free content out there. Plenty of good programs from British, Canadian, Australian channels in addition to US channels.
Sasebo is in my neck of the woods , kinda ...I’m in Kumamoto . I am looking at mountains in Nagasaki Pref. out of my front window now .
