Thanks - “exactly” what I wanted to know,
yn gwmws be dw’i moyn gwybod - is this construction cywir neu anghywir.

I think I asked you to sign our petition without realising you hadn’t really ‘found’ S4C!
this is a forum thread which may help
However, I am not sure how relevant it is for folk outside Europe.
@Sionned Can you help at all?
Well done for fixing this yourself! Yes, ‘paid a rhaffu nhw’ is short-hand for ‘paid a rhaffu celwyddau’…

Thanks Aran,
Think I turned the post into a bit of a Soliloquy.

Not much. I have, in the past, found various web-based services that allow people to view restricted British (and Welsh) programming, usually by fooling the programming provider into thinking that you are in the area. Some of them are free, some require a fee, many are a little dodgy to use, not entirely legal, or just don’t work that well. I would love to watch S4C more (and have, of course, signed the petition) but don’t currently have a reliable way to watch. You might do a search for proxy services and see what you find.
CAVEAT: SSiW does not want to be seen as promoting illegal access to programming, which is why the petition is such a good idea!
No. 
That’s concise - I didn’t realise that that Welsh has a form of vowel mutation called affection. Courtesy of Wikipedia - gair and iadur giving geiriadur. I think I knew that sort of thing was going on, but didn’t realise it had a name and was a mutation. Does it matter - probably not.
Yes - many languages have it… man vs men is an example in English - a (since disappeared) ending -i changed the a to e.
Definitely not. Very little matters.

@FrankMorys, and for anyone who doesn’t already know, there is a legal way for those outside the UK to watch some S4C programs:
Of course, it’s a limited selection of programming, but it’s still worthwhile.

Yes, there was talked about this on this forum. It’s just I don’t know exactly in which topic right now and, to be fair, I’m not in the mood (how strange for me though) to search for it. Maybe later. But since @AnnaC has provided the link to the S4C International, I believe there’s not much to be told though.
Enjoy watching legally.
haha yeah, I ended up doing another search for it after I asked. Initially I actually didn’t know if the show was still running because the only ones i’ve seen were probably episodes from the late 70’s or 80’, so I didn’t think to check iplayer or anything like that. I wanted to watch it on my phone at the time, but I couldn’t watch it outside the UK. More reason to have signed the petition I guess. In the meantime, I’m grateful for the S4C International link.

Diolch! Diolch! Diolch yn fawr!
I know I should have been able to call the name of this site to mind and I think I posted it in another thread, but I couldn’t find it, was in a hurry and threw the ball to @Sionned as the first US resident to come to mind!! Up you came, Anna, with the answer and I, and, I am sure Frank, are very grateful.
edit:
checking, I find we have threads for watching in US, S4C International (mainly about adblocks losing the subtitles) as well as good programmes to watch. I suspect life would be easier if these were concatenated somewhat, but I’m not sure I’m the one to do it, not being all that clued up on the mechanics, and I don’t even know the best person to ask. @aran, as boss man, can you maybe help?
edit!
Woops! Sorry! Found it in ‘Really useful ‘How to’ stuff and other great posts’ pegged at the top when in the main Forum. @seren put in a list of useful threads!

@seren has put up a very useful list in that thread @henddraig mentions and if I see something what could be of any great value and is not mentioned in it yet, I’m constantly updating it with such things so the list itself as the main list at the beginning of the thread are more or less fresh all the time however if I missed something and you think it should be in any of those two lists, let me know.

It is a shame we are not allowed to share the links to watch BBC i player abroad, which is where you can catch up on the latest s4c programmes etc. I guess it’s easy enough to Google BBC i player abroad and work it out for yourself if you wanted to do that. It is easy to do though.
You know it is very simple reason for that. Such things are illegal and company/forum like this just can’t in any case afford sharing such links and tips publicly. It is so that we all should understand this. I’m happy with S4C International especially because in the past even this didn’t exist. So, times getting better in this context anyway.

Thanks Tatjana, you are right and I certainly won’t post any links. I didn’t see Pobl y cwm on s4c international and I’m guessing that isn’t available.

I believe so, yes.
Not so far. There is Rownd a Rownd but its on hiatus at the moment. Every now and then I email them to ask for things I’d like to see. Time to send another request, I think…Pobl y Cwm, the second season of Lan a Lawr, Byw Celwydd…
One big disappointment this year was the Eisteddfod coverage. Last year there was coverage for every day available to watch at any time (for the usual 30 day window). At the beginning of the Eisteddfod I emailed to ask why there was nothing on the international page and they told me it was a rights restriction issue, and I could only watch live. I hadn’t realized I could watch live so I was glad I asked, but I didn’t get to see much because the 5 hour time difference made it difficult
