better learning with shift...


Shift.tv is great, because you can watch american films that have been translated to german. if an american (i.e. english speaking) is familiar with the original version of the film, then that person can learn how to speak german, if they watch the translated version.

German TV did not offer american programs translated to german. it is also interesting to observe the translation of humor in some programs like the simpsons

oversea TV is now shipping


I just got an e-mail anouncong that over sea TV is going to start shipping out recievers this moth. they are going to be releasing 1000 units for now. I am not going to order it, because i am quite happy with shift.tv. I am also a bit sceptic about the service, since i did not read any reviews about it yet. they are offering two ways to subscribe. one is a rental for the reciever for $30/month. or a purchase of the reciever for a one time fee of $500. in either case, a $10 discount is available the the coupon code "promo10" more info
