[QUOTE="Fisty McB, post: 952560, member: 389824"] It wasn't just the former DDR that West German television and other western television television stations could penetrate, signals from West Berlin could get into parts of western Poland as well. Austrian TV signals from ORF could quite handily spread into Hungary, Czechoslovakia & the modern day Slovenia too, especially where many people in these countries have a reasonable grasp of the German language. The former Yugoslavia was nominally a Socialist Republic, but wasn't under the Soviet sphere of influence and its media had a bit more freedom to work with compared to those in Warsaw Pact countries, indeed local newspapers printed schedules from ORF and RAI stations! In Albania, trying to receive RAI TV from across the Adriatic Sea was often attempted and very possible, the authorities there often jammed incoming Italian signals that were receivable in Tirana particularly during news reports. I wonder if it was possible in Estonia, Tallinn in particular, to receive YLE TV broadcasts from Finland? Geography suggests this should have been very possible and AFAIK the Finnish & Estonian languages have somewhat of a mutual intelligibility between them? Edit: I think when Poland moved from SECAM to PAL they didn't shift their audio subcarriers thus remained D/K until their ATO in 2013. [/QUOTE]
