I'm looking to find out the most popular movie channels in various
countries of the world (say the top ten in each).  The countries are:
Germany, USA, United Kingdom, Australia, France, Italy, Norway and Brasil

I don't need anything fancy, just purely a list of TV channels that
are pretty much dedicated to only show films (like HBO in he US or
Film4 in the UK).

Thanks for any interest.

Request for Question Clarification by rainbow-ga on 30 Aug 2006 05:54 PDT

Are you interested in local stations, or can cable channels be
included? Do you only want free channels or pay-per-view too? Also, if
satellite channels can be included, some countries receive channels
from other countries. Please clarify. Thanks.

Best regards,
Rainbow

Hi Rainbow,

SOrry for the delay.  Pay per view and free channels but not I would
guess "local".  I'm really looking for the major channels in each
country and I guess they would be carried by satellite and cable
networks.

I'm kind of hoping it would be country specific - i.e. that the German
film channels wouldn't have French movies (even if they could get them
off satellite) and also presume that most popular Brasilian film
channels would be in Portuguese.

Let em know if you need moe info!

Thanks.

Thanks bobbie7-ga,  big apologies for some reason I never got the
email from google telling me this had been answered!  Probably got
eaten up by my spam filters.

I know the answer..

I have to say that:

Tele+ channels   -> doesn't exist
Stream           -> doesn't exist
RAI              -> it's the public broadcasting network, they play
films like any other generic tv

Zuzzy82,

Tele+ (pay TV) went out of business.

The Stream TV Homepage points to Sky

Rai Network does broadcast movies and other programs

Thank you for your comments.
