Best is that you can watch most of their shows up to 7 days after it aired (although, best? Like Jonathan said they don't have top-quality stuff, but it's input and if you can't afford DVD's, etc. it's good enough for some massive input). Eleena, this has been for a few weeks now .

The RTVE website is disappointing, but then they don't really dig deep into their pockets for anything except low-rent comedies and quiz shows (and directors' salaries).

Looks uber naff. BTW, the BBC is funded by television licence fees and is prohibited from showing any on-air commercial advertising. I presume that this restriction also applies to their web presence. I have to agree with you about the incongruity of the google ads on a corporate site like that. Looks uber naff.
