ITV2 has some good repeats - the original Morse series was on recently.
BBC4 has some decent enough stuff too. Of course it depends on your tastes.

It's also probably the best source of radio, audio quality wise, since DAB
rates have been set so low on many stations.

And assuming the programme source is up to it, the picture quality *is*
better in many ways than the very best analogue - provided you feed the
set with RGB. It has a wider luminance bandwidth, so can provide sharper
pictures, and more noise free deep colours. It's not universally better,
though, as some artifacts can be seen on some movement at certain times.
