Not on the TV channels I have. Currently watching some real old favourites including London’ Burning, Howard’s Way,Soldier Soldier, The Likely Lads, Original Star Trek, Steptoe & Son, Only Fools & Horses, a few months back and every episode and special. + many other series I had forgotten about over the years including Bonanza and even the Lone Ranger too plus Robin Hood with Richard Green currently (love the studio props we always thought were real trees etc)YouTube is a pain these days with ads every few minutes so never both much with it.
If you have a VPN, setting it to Albania will avoid YouTube ads.

Doesn’t that mean you can only watch reruns of Enver Hoxha’s speeches to the Central Committee of the Albanian Communist Party though? 
I watch a lot of YouTube as I have the attention span of a gnat so get bored with 50-minute dramas etc on “normal” television, so I find it worth paying the £11.99 a month for YouTube Premium, rather than Netflix et al. YMMV.

Install Brave browser it blocks the ads on YT

Thanks, but no good telling me to install stuff I do not understand. Prefer the TV to YT any time.
Sorry but what is VPN?
Of course I know, but it’s a secret. 
I have found a good way to combat YT adverts though. As I live in France they are almost all French so I read them out loud rapidly (good exercise for the mind too) and almost always never beat them. I am even a tad disappointed when they finish and have to spend a few seconds remembering what I was watching.

Virtual Private Network - it’s a piece of software that routes your internet connection via a server in a country of your choice (e.g. Albania 
) in order to circumvent geographical restrictions on viewing websites or other media services. It can also be used just for privacy, to avoid your actual location being tracked. The connection is encrypted, so it’s also useful for sending sensitive data.
How do you receive them? What does it cost?
I have ExPat TV that comes from Ireland. My daughter in the USA has it and pays for it monthly for the both of us as you cannot piggyback like Netflix. You can find it on google and how to get it. It has all the upto the minute channels, plus the foreign ones, even Irish and Scottish speaking channels. Think its about $30/month

Audible has a lot of old comedy programmes on it. I bought over twenty Dad’s Army episodes for one credit and they’re fantastic. I have The Good Life, Porridge and Fawlty Towers too. All so well written that the TV soundtracks translate well with very little adaptation. Have also just discovered a large Goons archive on BBC Sounds if you can access that from France. Listened to The Lone Banana Tree for the first time in years. Absolute genius!
