• Lately, pay TV services have become very popular, such as cable TV or toll television, but our generation all envies the cable programs available in the U.S.
• I think so too. You know, accessing good programs is convenient in the U.S. You just need to turn on the TV and you can see XYZ, AIB, UBC, or MAX-the 4 major networks. TNB is famous for the news and they also have the Invention Channel, and the Metropolitan and Chemistry channels. MCH, which is a music channel, is popular among Japanese young people. Add all that to local TV and there are thousands of programs.
• That's true. When we go on a trip abroad, we still have fun watching foreign shows even if we have no clue what the show is talking about. I saw a panel show and of course I didn't understand the English, but I felt pretty cool when I watched it.
• Yeah, I've done the same thing! In Japan, you just need to subscribe to TNB or a cable TV service to see those kinds of shows right?
• Uh-huh. The price depends on each cable station, but you choose one and can watch the program. We often watch Invention channel.
• In the U.S. people usually subscribe to a set of networks packaged together, which is provided by each local station; the price of service can be more reasonable at different stations.
• In Japan, we also have very attractive broadcast services like OoedoTV!, so we can watch the more enticing programs.
• Well... you are correct, but I'd rather have something more enticing to my wallet.
