Do you watch PBS?

[plommer]

I watch alot of PBS - Detroit public tv. They broadcast 3 separate channels over the air - 56.1/56.2/56.3

I'd say it compromises at least 2/3 of my televison viewing.

I don't have cable/satellite, just an outdoor antenna that gives me approx 24 channels.
I get all the major US networks, also CBC Windsor and CTV Windsor.

For sports I usually watch online, ie NHL etc.

I'd say one of the main reasons I watch PBS is it's commercial free.
If there is nothing interesting on PBS I tune to channel 2.2 - the movie channel.

I wish I could get TVO (TVOntario) thats about the only channel I miss.

I also listen to CBC Windsor and Detroit public radio - WRCJ - commercial free jazz/classical.

The big networks have little that interests me, besides the investigative reports (60 minutes, 20/20 etc) and sometimes the news.

I can't believe how lousy all the current sit-coms are. I tried watching Two Broke Broads and lasted an entire episode without lol'ing.

I had Netflix but basically watched everything I was interested in - Breaking bad.

Borrowing DVD's from the library and downloading series/movies from the internet works well.
(My ISP allows unlimited downloading between 2AM-8AM that doesn't count towards to my 300GB month plan)

How about you, do you have cable/satellite? Are you into PBS?

You can set up a ps3 to hook up to US netflix without too much difficulty. I have not bothered to do it myself but I know ppl that do.

PBS also has a decent amount of viewing on pbs.org

Mostly watch hockey and old sitcom reruns

What? The programming here is alot of documentaries - Nova, etc. I also enjoy "This Old house"

Reno are you on cable? Over the air PBS has 3 separate and different broadcsts, 2 are HD and the other one in standard def.

It's an SP thing. We did that with anything like that. You will see Ray do it around here some.

Oh and I never got the Two Broke girls thing either. NOT funny. I do like the Goldbergs and Tim Allen's show on Friday nights some. They talk about sports betting on there a lot it seems.

I like the idea of PBS and I like public radio but don't watch or listen to either much. Ok. Bed time! Going to sleep watching ABC/Nashville.

 

[FairWarning]

Have directv, get MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL packages. About the only PBS I watch is Antiques Roadshow or some Ken Burns documentary.
