I assume all three Nederland channels broadcast in Dutch. And the two VRT Belgium channels I assume broadcast in Flemish which is understood by Dutch speakers. The Dutch word for Flemish is Vlaams, so I assume VRT means Flemish Radio and Television. And I'd guess that some of the cable channels are also broadcasting or dubbed in Dutch.

But I suppose that's it. With only a few million people speaking Dutch/Flemish, there aren't going to be too many Dutch channels to choose from. I know RTL is Radio Television Luxembourg. But I don't know if RTL4 and 5 are broadcasting in German, which is the language of Luxembourg, or if RTL programs these two channels in Dutch for viewers in the Netherlands and Belgium. (RTL has channels in French so it can compete with French broadcasters.) I don't know German and Dutch well enough to figure out from the non-English titles whether the RTL channels are German or Dutch.

Then there are some English and French channels. Funny that English is so widely understood that even on the Dutch channels, they don't often bother to translate English TV show and movie titles, even though I assume the shows are dubbed in Dutch. They don't change the names of shows such as West Wing or Bobby's World.

I also see that this is 2000, yet none of the Dutch channels is 24 hours. Only three German channels and some of the U.S. and U.K. based channels are 24 hours. So in the middle of the night, you can watch MTV or Cartoon Network, but nothing that isn't originally Dutch.

RTL 4 & 5 (along with 7, 8, Lounge, Crime and 24) are based in Luxembourg, but focused on the Netherlands and broadcasting in Dutch. They're part of the RTL Group of channels throughout Europe:

As for language, German is one of the languages spoken in Luxembourg -- French and Luxembourgish being the others.
