I am looking for premium channels to see on a subscription based television or cable service.

Where would I go to subscribe if this is possible?

Many Networks literally do not allow broadcasting in Europe because of rights. Unfortunately also due to satellite coverage you cannot even setup a dish to receive (curvature of the earth..ect)

If you search online there are many, many ways of watching programmes and sometimes full channels for free. But I will not discuss the legality of doing it!

I don't mind paying extra & via internet is fine with me! I just want to watch some popular movies (made later than 1998) & some live boxing.

HBO, Showtime, & (obviously) PPV have the best boxing matches.

Well good thing about Dutch tv is most films are only ever subtitled so I can watch them in English. Prime is a good channel that is always advertising new movies. Stuff from cinema last year etc

For any boxing fights just watch online streams at firstrow.tv/ then you avoid the pay per view charges.
