Dutch-language TV service BVN-TV, as well as the three audio streams of Radio Netherlands, are available throughout North America free-to-air 24 hours a day via the Intelsat Americas 5 satellite. The start date (originally 1 January 2005)was brought forward because of the funeral of HRH Prince Bernhard. Anyone with a suitable satellite dish and receiver in the US, Canada and Mexico can now watch BVN-TV and listen to Radio Netherlands round the clock. The 24-hour English stream is labelled RNW1. RNW2 is in Dutch, and RNW3 carries, amongst other things, Radio NetherlandsÂ’ Spanish output.
