Country and language guide
Find your UK viewing essentials
Think through a typical week of television: a familiar evening programme, a news bulletin, a film and perhaps a sporting event. This UK guide helps you identify the channels behind that routine.
Names to add to your shortlist
Build around programmes you already follow
BBC One, BBC Two, ITV and Channel 4 provide starting points for general television; Film4 and Sky Cinema Premiere appear in the film examples. For sport, record the full name, such as Sky Sports F1 or TNT Sports 1, rather than relying on the network family. Use the film and series guide to distinguish a channel request from a title request, and prepare your television with the Smart TV guide.
