Default Roy Underhill injured again.

Look into digital TV. By 2009 regular TV will not be broadcast any more so
the conversion is in progress. With digital broadcast often PBS will have 3
sub channels of broadcast.

You can get cards to plug into your PC and hook up your antenna and watch
the digital TV on your PC.

I think it will be great when everything is switched over, I live in a deep
fringe area and I get fuzzy reception with regular TV and with digital it
has a "cliff" effect, if you can get any signal it will be clear. Yahoo no
cable, no dish and best of all no monthly bill.

I recently switched to Dish Network, is Roy's show on there? I have not
found it.


Not on any DishNetwork stations per se. It's a PBS program and not all
PBS stations carry it. If you're eligible to get the PBS National Feed
(hard to do with so many local channel markets now available), it's on
there. Otherwise, you'll have to get the local channel package for
your area and hope the local PBS operator carries it. I get three PBS
stations in my local package, and only one carries Roy.


On the SF Bay DirecTV package, there are a lot more PBS stations. Only

one
has Roy right now, and the series is from 2005. Maybe that will change
soon.

Beats the heck out of cable, though.
