Watching International TV Channels


Con

Recommended Posts

Here I watch tv channels from around the globe and share highlights with you all cause quarantine and stuff. 

Lets check in with the country of Oman...check this guys sword out. Final Fantasy size, and he is sitting down giving an interview:

This was one of their Energy Drink commercial I think...

Then I headed to Sweden and got this ad and i think its for companies that support XDBX and those that do not...

ob2e4L6.jpg?1

 

On TV4 I got some information about the CoronaKrisen, it was very informative...

H2Kawar.jpg?1

GIy46Rm.jpg?1

One small observation @Lann, all the correspondents were on ski slopes...im sayin...

Na1S0n3.jpg?1

 

I started watching this guy and was wondering why he looked so sad...

9FdTwqj.jpg?1

turns out he is a cop and is looking for the people who did this...vandals in Kopring. b*stards!!!

ZAiSnfK.jpg?1

pH0b8Ue.jpg?1

But then this ad came on and i remembered I needed a jacket...

jDQfWB3.jpg?1

But yeah life isnt the same anywhere...

pGETY7K.jpg?1

But there is a sale on the new GrandLand...

flK1PBi.jpg?1

Another show that I had no idea what they were talking about...i think it was about self esteem....

I watched them talk about old ships on this channel and it was very therapeutic...

Bzysqf0.jpg?1

iGsN7eD.jpg?1

Then I went to an MTV channel and things got romantical...this guy was crying and i think I know the story...He draws with this girl...

SrsGqJn.jpg?1

6iMHYa5.jpg?1

but then he starts drawing in the dark like a fool in love...

xUGZa8A.jpg?1

He shows her the picture of her he drew to capture her heart...

s3oSDEJ.jpg?1

She clearly is not impressed a single stitch and tells him..."Well at least its not a total piece of sh*t, thanks."....

sKYvlH7.jpg?1

5zwujBK.jpg?1

12Y19MW.jpg?1

And my last stop was the Aquarium channel apparently since this was all they showed for 15 minutes....yes, I was that high....

Kn96Sff.jpg?1

I then went to Uganda and was disappointed that only two channels were available and only one was working here is the guy talking about religion...

5fzQzxF.jpg?1

Welcome back Pandemic Party People!! Woooooo! Okay our last viewing party took us to these countries:

Croatia, Gambia, Mongolia, Qatar, and Ukraine...

Croatian TV wasn't a hit since only two channels and only one was broadcasting what I'm guessing was like a VH1 channel...I thought it was karaoke at first but nope, this dude is a big deal there...

 

]wA9hG59.jpg?1

Dude with the accordion was killing it!! trust me....

N5g5kTi.jpg?1

Got excited to watch this Croatian girl group...but nope, it's two dudes that sing the song...

5vjETGQ.jpg?1

Yep...these dudes.

LfP4Yez.jpg?1

Looks like he is touching her face but look closer...lmao...its an illusion...

tgMCjA5.jpg?1

Then I changed the channel and had my fortune read by this busty fortune-teller...

0Zd3sfr.jpg?1

I headed over to Gambia for some Gambian entertainment but again was let down by the choices and only one channel had something going on this one...

6L6BIXg.jpg?1

It was a Telethon to collect funds to fight the Corona Virus. How do I know?? Well they spoke perfect english and then there is the call center...

1giFEjH.jpg?1

After deciding not to contribute to the Gambian Telethon, I found my way to Mongolian TV...where this riveting hospital drama was playing...

KLUokZh.jpg?1

This was one of the nurses who had a lunch date with her friend and I couldnt take my eyes off her....

ltW1iEt.jpg?1

After getting bored cause the show was so slow...I changed channels and watched this performance...it sure was a spectacle.

cDLNz2O.jpg?1

m30SWE8.jpg?1

Then I found the Mongolian News channels and there was a mask theme...

AS5nq1R.jpg?1

G80irXL.jpg?1

YAMnriI.jpg?1

pNqCsjo.jpg?1

Qatar and Ukraine will have to wait as Im getting ready to leave the office...so stay tuned!

If you ever get bored enough, you can watch slovenian national tv channels here:

https://4d.rtvslo.si/zivo/tvs1

https://4d.rtvslo.si/zivo/tvs2

And if you start feeling suicidal and really want to hurt yourself, there's a 3rd channel that is usually mostly showing our parliament 🙈🙉

https://4d.rtvslo.si/zivo/tvs3

I strongly advice against it though!

You should pick your favourite shows from each country to make the ultimate international tv schedule.

The issue I’m finding is that some channels that were available yesterday aren’t being streamed today. But that’s the fun I guess.

Okay ... lets finish up Qatar and Ukraine from the other night...

 

Qatar TV only had two channels broadcasting and one was showing these buildings...

e9XZETU.jpg?1

ZhOXtq6.jpg?1

8gGRP5n.jpg?1

The only other thing airing at the time was this sports channel and this Cricket player being interviewed....

IqZSU0W.jpg?1

The highlight of the interview was when she asked if he has anything or anyone he wants to apologize for or to...and he said, "No, I'm sorry, I don't." lol...she was like dumbfounded by that. She was really antagonizing this athlete to try and get him upset. 

dIZHnwQ.jpg?1

But since that was the only things on Qatar TV at that time, I went over to the Ukraine and did i get my entertainment dollar's worth...

This was a cool show about banned artists, it was an American program shown in Russian subtitles...it featured other artists but sorry those pics came out blurry here is the only one that I saved...

KUnK2Bq.jpg?1

I then watched this discussion and im guessing it was about the virus...

xhEksFs.jpg?1

JG4Vylg.jpg?1

After changing channels, this interview got my attention because the man was visibly upset at what the lady was saying and was very entertaining as he wasn't f*cking around...

iLeCCM1.jpg?1

I then stopped to watch these heroes and while i didnt understand their words, I understood their body language and these women were tired...

EwsawGr.jpg?1

Flipping more channels I found this tranquil travel program and some of these views were outstanding!...

iSlaLFp.jpg?1

YEM4pjB.jpg?1

GGjKNmX.jpg?1

Here is a guy buying the good "cider" at the bottom of the mountain...none of that Imported crap...

sWlixKy.jpg?1

This girl was talking about this park she was at and she was having the time of her life....

vmzJ3wh.jpg?1

Next channel...i thought this was a music video channel for sure but turns out its a Movie Preview show!!! She talks about the movie a little and then she shows the trailer...here was Pinocchio...

9b4PxPV.jpg?1

KhZ1TJg.jpg?1

I kept flippin' and stopped at this fashion show...the music was awesome...this must be the "I survived a Serial Killer Look"...

zRQibUZ.jpg?1

They have fashion channels like we have sports channels. This is where R* gets their Casino clothing fashion ideas from....

COT9NTE.jpg?1

More fashion...Less Social Distancing....below is a man, you cannot fool me!!!

OMYuVF7.jpg?1

I had enough of the catwalk and I changed channels to this kid's show that I swear almost detached my retina it was so brightly lit!!!...ouch...

Zp5mOQw.jpg?1

I couldnt stay on that kid's channel as I didnt want to go blind so I changed channels and found this epic Jerry Springer-style show...it was a trainwreck!!...

pGpYb23.jpg?1

Lady in blue couldnt get there in time...lol...

8k0h4z2.jpg?1

sIlHrOg.jpg?1

Jerry- Jerry- Jerry!!! 

JCsgWh3.jpg?2

Moving on...stopped at this channel and watched this comedy skit show...hard to decipher the jokes, lol...

MqXcdSI.jpg?1

These women were running hard *n these treadmills...we see them from every angle...they are on a mission....

RWg1g1B.jpg?1

...and this is the punchline...some guy in front of them eating donuts and drinking water, holding Finish line tape...

kgeZQCy.jpg?1

Then this I think was a joke about boobs...but might have been about books...who knows...

f8Jwybf.jpg?1

RcyNOrO.jpg?1

This comedy skit I think is created by these three women who act in almost every skit...they are talented....

8X4Udhl.jpg?1

Hy0k4kL.jpg?1

...and there you have it, another successful night in international television viewing...I will certainly return to the Ukraine as there was a wealth of channels and plenty more to watch from them!! Thanks for joining me!

LOL ! I think this guy is Samir Nasri, french football player. Can't stand him, he's an *sshole. It is very likely that she was trying to antagonize him as he's always trash talking other people and starting feuds with everyone. Damn right he has some apologizing to do !

Awesome! Thanks for the insight!! Now I see why she was so persistent, like a district attorney. lmao. He did have full on '*sshole vibe'....but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.He also had bad fake teeth so i figured he has been punched in the mouth several times in the past. I said Cricket because she said, "Your next Test....." but i didnt stick around to see highlights of him, like I usually see here in that show format.

Hey welcome to another installment of Con Surfs the World!!  On this day I found a random country selector on the web, so now I have no control which country I will be heading to. Here we visit Andorra, Denmark, St. Martin, and Hong Kong...

Andorra was a bust. Just one channel and this is what was on it. 

Andorra:

8cTUzze.jpg?1

We headed to Denmark thanks to the new random selector and found this serious talk...pretty sure it was about the virus...

Denmark:

eRAaDB2.jpg?1

3VuYsry.jpg?1

9Qx3iL7.jpg?1

So we left them to their talk and looked for a new program and found this singing and worship channel...they loved the lord a lot...

3VpKM41.jpg?1

But it was time to move on from the singing and found some news channels...

PKI744W.jpg?1

These guys made me hungry with all their potatoes...pretty sure they were comparing who had the biggest ones.

WeT62oV.jpg?1

Pretty sure this poor fella was hit by this bus after being asked this question on the street...

5khPyDX.jpg?1

F'n kids and their boogers, man....

3Gk8tLA.jpg?1

Time to change channels and found this awesome nature rescue show...Here kitty, kitty...

INWD3fF.jpg?1

The reporter thought she was just there to observe, oh no....she was put to work!

qteRcPw.jpg?1

Beets and Apples....."They're Grrrrrrrrreat!!!" (thats trademarked)

JQytW7R.jpg?1

Time to see what else is on in Denmark...oh this dude looked so familiar!....

D1vhGgc.jpg?1

That interview was slow, so i moved on and found this stand-up comic act...now, I didnt think his delivery or body language was funny...

TPORRC3.jpg?1

...but the bros showed their support....

b6nI6XD.jpg?1

As much as I love stand-up...I had no idea what he was saying so the jokes were going over my head...flipped the channel just in time to see one of my favorite things...

ZLchYAg.jpg?1

and in case I didnt know where they were located....

3VwBWzN.jpg?1

Thanks, Dan-Bo!!! I see you!!!  Denmark was awesome but I had to move on and St. Martin was next...

St. Martin:

HzyuYd4.jpg?1

Not much going on here, just Herbert in a suit...

NpinhrS.jpg?1

Thankfully, that show was over and this came on...

z7Fn32s.jpg?1

SLjqZxU.jpg?1

This was a show about school children and the advice was solid af for these kids....

0Xj9bAO.jpg?1

This homie was acting up so this educator dropped some truth bombs about his future if he chooses the mean streets of St. Martin...

JDkzK0P.jpg?1

These women....they were not impressed with some of the grades they were seeing...lmao...

1JZX8ML.jpg?1

Okay lets see what else St. Martin was showing...oh, music video time...

4NRyesv.jpg?1

4WZx918.jpg?1

...and then we were rockin' to Fat Joe!!! I see you, St. Martin!! Aiiiiighhht.

8fkE40A.jpg?1

Bye beautiful, St. Martin and Hello Hong Kong!!!...first stop...children's television...lol

Hong Kong:

wZfKWly.jpg?1

...these kids out here learning GEOMETRY right out the vagine, man!!.....

p2xcJ83.jpg?1

...yep, that's a rhombus!! Pretty sure I had nightmares this night after watching this cartoon...

YqAV52a.jpg?1

Channel change and i was in the news...and i think this was about the toilet paper heist from a few months ago...

2igwznr.jpg?1

These guys were signing some important papers cause look at all the people watching...I guess to make sure no spelling errors....

XXTp8aj.jpg?1

I have no idea what was happening in this clip but it sure looked interesting....

zau87Ix.jpg?1

The cooking channel....

xCfJxV6.jpg?1

...actually, no, it's the spread stuff on your face channel...

pEFgDzQ.jpg?1

Everything else on the Hong Kong channels was news and nothing was cool or exciting so it was time to get back to America.

Thanks for joining me again!!! Stay tuned cause next episode will feature...Cape Verde, Fiji, and Tunisia.

Good Tidings Friends...Hope all of you are well rested and are ready for another episode of Global Remote Control....this time we visit Cape Verde Islands, Tunisia, and Fiji...

 

The first destination was Cape Verde Islands where not many channels were working and I was only able to watch this talk show...I was fascinated by the language as at moments they went full Spanish...

Cape Verde:

vuapR4I.jpg?1

this was the lady being interviewed...you could tell they both enjoyed talking to one another....

KwrASHf.jpg?1

with not much going on in Cape Verde, I had to move on and landed in Tunisia, where most of my evening was spent....

The first channel brought me to some travel tour, the most interesting being this wall, they used a close-up of the wall for about 10 mins and then pulled away to reveal how amazing it was and im guessing it was an important cultural site because this guy was fired up talking about it...

Tunisia:

dnxHM2G.jpg?1

TQjtsEo.jpg?1

This is the other side of this wall...the views were amazing...look at that wall!! 

MXcHo8l.jpg?1

BV0wBWi.jpg?1

This is the name of this travel program...

RuGKak9.jpg?1

TEE3i9i.jpg?1

I then found another architecture channel except this was in documentary style and yep, more walls and old stuff...

YXWddO3.jpg?1

Time to check what else was on and found this guy singing like his life depended on it....this might have been like Tunisian Idol music competition...

BPna8Z5.jpg?1

....and the band....

HZnkqHz.jpg?1

Neyhb3w.jpg?6

...im guessing all manner of panties dropped in Tunisia when this dude sings?...or is he a noob named Sahel on a reality show called Tunisian Voice as the graphic is showing.

Time to see what else was on Tunisian tv and at first was worried I had entered adult material...where have i seen this before?? lmao...

1m3Xwfe.jpg?1

..worry not...its a wholesome show about relationships...

cm5cTJZ.jpg?1

GqLn5cF.jpg?1

this guy seems to be a big deal and  I wish I knew what the hell was going on as I was fully entertained here are some of the screenshots...

LqYM39U.jpg?1

wfxfCCl.jpg?1

...we then meet this one dude shooting hoops at night...his friend ( i think) show up and they have a game of 1v1...shot his eye out here....

DNgUJn0.jpg?1

...and took that man to the whole like vintage Scottie Pippen!!!

FcvIgus.jpg?1

...I have no idea what they were talking about during the game but by the end this dude was fn scared and broken....lmao...

8Reoeai.jpg?1

...between you and me, I think they were playing for the rights to date this girl...I found her and her upside down mouth attractive....

jwuOvvj.jpg?1

o9vrqNL.jpg?1

...these two were at that table too...and made a huge deal about the piece of bread the man was eating...

H7HdgkU.jpg?1

..whatever he was saying about bread, made the main actress make this face...

5S8GaxZ.jpg?1

...turns out I watched the whole show not knowing what the hell they were talking about but it was just so well lit and the actresses were real cute and talented as they emoted really well. Anyways, if ever bored in Tunisia, look up this show...pretty sure he won her in a game of one-on-one basketball...

7ZszdVd.jpg?1

...then out of nowhere this depressing af channel promo comes on...I know its about nature but the music and the whole setup came across more like an anti-depressant commercial...

TTKwEpn.jpg?1

...it was time to leave Tunisia or i might have never left...and Fiji was next on the passport, but not before one last Tunisian public announcement...

eicTqHP.jpg?1

...okay it was getting late and Fiji channels weren't abundant and I only found one channel that wasn't talking religion and just like that it was Rugby time, baby!!...Samoa vs Fiji...

Fiji:

38dqiPd.jpg?1

...this guy has this brilliant interception and to his credit he did try and score except...

LxmWMgx.jpg?1

... Fiji would make him pay with a bone crushing hit that left him looking like he needed to vomit, p*ss, cry, and sh*t all at the same time...I tried to get more photos but they cut away cause he was hurt...i swear that man sh*t himself...

GQvpqN6.jpg?1

...the crowd appreciated the savagery...

rUS1JQv.jpg?2

...I watched most of the match and even forgot I was taking pictures...So ill leave you with this last one from Fiji television...

tfjROyT.jpg?1

...and just like that my adventure was over...not too many countries visited because Tunisia and Fiji really had me into the show and rugby. Make sure to join me next time as I don't even know where I will end up around the globe!...thanks for clicking on the thread!!!!

See ya next time on the next episode of Global Remote Control !!!!

Have you no idea who you are saying this to do you? LOL. I love punishment. I plan on doing another episode real soon so I might go to Slovenia, the countries where some of you live i've put into an "Honorary" category so i will 100% visit those. One thing I want to also do is put down my local time and what time it was in that country this way if I make fun of a program in your country, you can say, "Hey man, you were watching our channels at 4am"...LOL.

Don't worry. I have not abandoned or forgotten about this thread...I look forward to watching these channels. But I have to feel inner happiness to sit and enjoy watching 20-30 mins per channel of foreign TV and the past few months have been anything but happy. So if you are a fan of this thread I will be back soon.

Interesting.  Try not to look at the buildings for clues. lol. Architecture could give it away. I just want to see if people can really tell humans apart. 

After 4-5 more guesses I will reveal the answer...

My bet is somewhere in the Cyprus region (turquey/Lebanon/Israel). 
Maybe Greece or Bulgary also...

 

but they could also be foreign workers on another country, so my guess is as good as any other... 😂

Interesting, have two different continents so far.

I'm going to make a bold prediction....people from Europe will probably do better at this than people here in America. We shall see.

@Spinnaker1981 Just so you all know, I am doing my best to confirm that the people in the photos are indeed from the country the picture is taken in. I'm just not googling and picking a photo. Especially in the tourist heavy countries, those pics can be tricky but I assure you I'm really going for accuracy.
