Very unlikely VM will add more foreign channels beyond more Asian ones. The only solution for him would be internet tv, ARD, ZDF etc can be found on the net someplace, somewhere.

Many of the original cablecos did used to have a bouquet of foreign stations on analogue and it varied from region to region, but you would usually get one French, German, Italian and Spanish channels at a minimum. Alas, as space got limited the channels were dropped for English language ones and VM shows no inclination of changing that.
