I just wish that I as a Swede living abroad could watch the Swedish language content.

It's not like På Spåret is going to be sold abroad anyway.

I don’t know specifically about På Spårer, but it’s not unusual that they licences the idea and format of the show, and that’s why they only are allowed to show it in Sweden.

That doesn’t explain why my kids can’t watch Beppes Godnattstund while we are abroad though.

> Beppes Godnattstund

For non-swedes, this is a show about a old guy who lives in a bed with a bunch of little girl dolls who need to go to the toilet all of the time.

Finally some content to which I can relate

As a first step, I wouldn't mind it if countries generally adopted a system where anyone in the world could simply pay for access at a rate comparable to the public TV tax.

The obvious downside of this system is that it would be expensive for certain networks (sorry Norway TV fans) but it would get the ball rolling.

Quick fix:

5 dollar/month VPN. NOT BLOCKED BY SVTPLAY KK.

I know, but I'm not interested enough to pay money.
