FilmNet is a 24-hour movie channel. We get it in Sweden and I know it
can be seen in the Netherlands, probably in a lot of countries in
Europe. It's beamed down to a central site where appropriate
subtitles fpr that country are added to the picture and it's then
distributed in the cable network. At least, I think this is how it's
done. But it seems like cable is almost an unheard of thing here in
the UK. Since most films are American/English, you wouldn't need
subtitles and maybe there is a stand-alone descrambler available. It's
a good movie channel, but I think it's too expensive (about 10-15
pounds/month), at least in Sweden.

What you should tune into is CNN. (But it's not on Astra I'm afraid.)
