Hi gang.
Just to let you know I'm still alive. Im currently living between my parent's place and my flat. The big stuff (t.v, bed, book case etc) is all there but i have a load of other crap to take over yet. I am also in the process of registering my car onto the German net - which is a real pain in the ass i might add. After i get that sorted i need to apply for my tv and radio license and then after that I will be arranging to get a phone line and broadband set up in my flat I can see myself getting all sorted somewhere around the 17th and onwards. Thanks for all understanding and as soon as i am able to i'll be posting (something i can hardly wait to do!) Cheers, Keith -------------------- Callsign: Alpha Two

Are you having to get licensed to watch TV and listen to the radio, or are you planning on starting your own media outlet?

Yes, i know this is a strange concept to you guys. They have tv/radio licenses in germany (as they do in UK). The license is NOT to broadcast. It is for WATCHING. Im not 100% sure of the German side, but in the UK your money goes towards funding channels that dont show adverts. BBC 1 and BBC 2 are the guys that suck all your money away.
In Germany it is similar but it goes mainly towards the programs and movies that they show. Its very odd concept I know, but if i decide to "skip it", then i will get in big trouble and fined a ridiculas amount of money! Shocking, isnt it? Cheers, Keith |

AMERICA! F*CK YEA! Here again to save the mutha f*ckin day, yea!
Thats a strange concept to me, how will they know if you don't have one? Also quick question: Flat = Apartment? This post has been edited by Captain Desparado: Sep 8 2006, 10:46 PM -------------------- Position : Captain | LEGIONNAIRES

Yes, Flat = Apartment
How will they know? Well im sure they dont have secret radar guns that can hunt for TV/Radio signals, but Im sure that if i were to have a party or the landlord came over to have a quick inspection and he/she discovers that I DONT have a tv/radio license then that is how id get caught... Honestly, i think the whole license thing is a load of horse shit. The UK one is damned expensive. Last time i heard it was over 100 pounds. The German one will be around 20 - 50 euros. But i need it if i want to be a law abiding citizen -------------------- Callsign: Alpha Two

Internet is my addiction. I don't even play Halo anymore because I got the internet.
Halo has Godzilla sized popularity in America so thats saying something! -------------------- Position : Captain | LEGIONNAIRES
