Warsaw - Post Report Question and Answers
English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
Local satellite network has some English language programming with CNN international, BBC, Euronews and France all in English but other programming can be limited. We use VPN with Netflix. There are a couple online English language local newspapers. I've heard of some people using a satellite service from the UK but I'm not so sure it's on the level. - Feb 2012
