Polish term or phrase: Polszmat
I am translating a survey where people are asked what they think of when they hear the name of a certain TV channel. One person has answered "Polszmat" in response to "Polsat". Is this a way of saying that Polsat is a bit rubbish? Or is it part of the Polsat package? Sorry if this is really obvious if you are Polish!
