    CSN has started broadcasting a New German Sat channel named DW.

    Anybody here watched it ? I did. :yes::yes: Interestingly, they have some good documentaries and lifestyle programs. Finally Rupavahini has done something good.

    what do you all have to say ?

    remember i think back in 1998 when rupavahini started airing discovery channel programs, ITN started showing shows from german DW to compete with Rupavahini.
    i also remember them posting ads asking for german translators to put subtitles into those programs.. nice documentaries they had back in those days..

    Hmm, You are talking about the early days that EYE started as Rupavahini-2. Actually they had very good programs back then. there was a program named "Extreme Machines". that was my all time favorite though :-)

    by all means, DW cannot come closer to Discovery, still something is better than having to watch only repeat sport programs.

    I think now DW itself dubs all the programs prior to airing. hence the language would not become a barrier for its global transmission.:yes:
