It was fun when the weather was good (some high clouds, no rain, no fog, preferably warmer weather) to receive the BBC across the north sea on the higher channels, quite fun to watch when there was nothing in the Dutch channels (we had no cable connection, physically none). The french1 was only possible with reflections so very noisy. Canal+ was also sometimes interesting but that was scrambled. Dutch VHF was patchy due some kind of interference I recall, but the channels were mirrored in UHF.
