Yesterday I installed a 1 meter motorised digital satellite system. (I live in UK)
After scanning satellites and looking on the web I now have access to the following soaps, some are listed more than once becase they are on more than one channel, and soaps with a * next to them are in English with subtitles, others are dubbed.
Days Of Our Lives* (1999 eps)
Days Of Our Lives* (2000 eps)
Guilding Light (1997 eps)
Bold And The Beautiful* (2001 eps)
Bold And The Beautiful (1990 eps)
Bold And The Beautiful (1997 eps)
Bold And The Beautiful* (1989 eps)
Young And The Restless (2001 eps)
Passions (2000 eps) (Can have English subtitles)
Sunset Beach (1998 eps)
Santa Barbera (original eps)
Sunset Beach (First eps)
Another Life (Original 1970's eps)

I tend not to watch the dubbed soaps, but watch the others.
There are so many great shows.
On TV3 Sweden they show, Melrose Place, Popular, Drew Carey, Golden Girls, Sunset Beach, Days Of Our Lives, Ricki Lake, Family Law, and loads of other great US tacky and "good" shows
If you want info on how to get them email me at gavin@onlinesoaps.tv

Gavin, are the 97 Guiding Light eps around the time of the storyline with Annie Dutton keeping the dead fetus inside of her till she framed Reva for killing it?

I hate to point this out but the first two posts in this thread are from December 2001! They are three years old! Thats why RB talks about B&B being shown on Living TV in the new year, because he meant the new year as in 2002!

LOL!

I just about started looking up how to get satellites installed.

I have Sky and Freeview, you'd think Sky though would provide things for everyone, they seem to think they have everything else but they don't have US soaps for us mad people who actually like them.

I'd pay £9.99 a month for all the US soaps and classic ones like Melrose Place, Pacific Drive etc would be a great bonus.

Maybe if I win the lottery i'll start my own channel up.

lol i hadn't noticed! I did think it was a bit odd though that all the soaps were quite far behind the US.
Why on earth was this post dragged up from 2001!??

I would do the same! Practically everything is catered for on sky/cable apart from US Soaps! Why wont they just take a leaf out of the US's book at start a UK SOAPnet!!?

A UK soapnet would be great....especially if they had UK soaps, Aussie soaps and any other soaps from english speaking countries (cough cough Shortland Street)...if it was in the UK, then it would be more likely to spread to other countries, like say New Zealand.

Um ... Sunset isn't shown on TV3 Sweden ... because it's usually on TV4 As for January of 2005, the repeats will move to TV4 Plus.

TV3 Denmark and TV3+ Danmark did broadcast it for a couple of years ago, though.
