My love aka my husband, Faride keeps on complaining we did not have ESPN or Sports Channel subscribed in our current TV channels.
Back in Malaysia, and other countries we used to live, we had the benefits of satellite TV
(which includes F1) and he never missed F1 race show. Seriously.
What's so special about F1? The race car keeps on driving dangerously on the same track, each year! Grrr...
Since we moved in Korea, he never missed watching it too, but this time, from the laptop.
Which in return, he keeps on ignoring me! Well, to the extent of cancelling outings too.
As sneaky as always, before hand, he treat me extra nice like cooking or buying me chocolate.
So that I don't complain!
I am perfectly fine with the free cable channel on the TV, come on.. 78 channels is too much for me! Also, it's fun learning and listening to Korean language, so that I can learn - indirectly.
Since there is no F1 channel in our current cable TV, he tricked me to the Qook & Show branch, just to subscribe satellite channel.
Let's run some information on TV channels in Korea.
Basic TV
There are 5 free satellite channels that are being provided in each household (generally) which include, infotainment, entertainment and lots more in Korean language. Some places even received English station operates by US Arm Forced in Korea.
Cable TV
This is what we currently have-78 channels. Depending on area, there are few plans available from basic to premium package. Personally, I think this is quite sufficient enough, as it comes with several English language programmes. Arirang is one of the best English language channels so far.
Unfortunately, cable TV doesn't have BBC news channel, or international programme.
Satellite TV
It's the crème of the crop of TV channels. Package includes international channel, interactive games, movie on demand, and lots more, mainly in high definition (HD).
Basically, there are few satellite channels in South Korea.

We chose SkyLife as there is a branch near to our place.
So now we have our own little entertainment for the cost of 20,000won in our little apartment.
And that's for premium package price. To top it off, it's all in High Definiton (HD).
Sweet deal.
Can't wait for Mr. Technician to come soon. Whee..
Pst: There's home shopping channel, whilst he watch F1.
