Hello,

I've just started learning Italian. I'm using Assimil, books, Michel Thomas CD's, Italian newspapers, etc... I want
to watch Italian TV.

But proper TV, real tv channels that are on show in Italy.

Where can I watch these online?

Thanks,
Bobby

www.rai.tv only gives you a limited selection.

A satellite dish (pointed at Hotbird) + LNB + decoder (maybe £100 total) will give you
RAI 1, RAI 2, RAI 3 plus a bunch of others. Every now and then they don't transmit
something for which they only have the Italian broadcast rights (for example, F1 races
don't show up), but pretty much everything else is there.

I don't know how far north the satellite footprint goes but it certainly works in
Birmingham, or example.

Really? That's surprising. They used to have a whole lot of complete shows online.

That website has a section with complete shows, "Puntate integrali":

There are complete shows online, but if you wanted to watch a specific show (say a talk
show or a game show) it may or may not be there. It's not like the French TV5.com, which
(when last I looked) allowed you to watch live TV (but delayed by 30 mins or so).

So rai.it isn't bad, but it's certainly incomplete.

Whether you want to watch Italian daytime TV or early evening game shows (or the adverts
that feature the game show hosts!) is a different matter :-)

Streaming live Italian TV channels: italiatv.org. The quality's not great and it can be a bit unreliable at times, but it generally works well.

Try the selection of live TV channels at filmon.com and wwitv.com. Both of these sites have live streaming TV from many countries, and therefore are very useful for the learner.
