What is the best way to get NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, ESPN in english while I live in Germany?

Answer 1

You can receive these channels via satellite "Astra 19,2°"

Answer 2

I hate to disappoint you, but you can't get these channels here at all, satellite or no satellite.  If you're lucky, you might be able to get a couple of the Brit channels, like BBC World and Sky News.  You can also get CNN International and CNBC (the business channel) with a normal satellilte dish.  American channels you can't get at all, unless you are with the military and then you can get AFN, which isn't all that hot if I remember correctly.

Answer 3

I think you need a satellite for this channels, some of them is not free. I just got me some satellite and get almost over 100 channels free. I didn't finish yet, but you can receive all kind programs with different languages.

Answer 4

In Germany, you can always go to AAFES and buy an AFN (Armed Forces Network) decoder.  They will help you install it.

AFN is just like regular TV in the US, but it has fewer channels.

Hope I helped!

Answer 5

I'm German, living in Germany. I don't think we can get the stations you listed. However, on satallite tv (most Germans have nowadays) you can get the following news channels in English:

CNN International, BBC World and Sky News.

If you come to Germany Military wise then you'll be supported with AFN.
