Alice, as a side note have you noticed how terrible the so called History Channel has become. We get Ice Road Truckers and Monsterquest now instead of the fall of the Roman Empire. About half the shows have NOTHING to do with history any longer. I wrote them an extensive letter complaining of their programming and they responded that these are the types of shows people want to watch. I was flabbergasted. I'm so disappointed in the programming changes on what used to be a good channel.

Any thoughts?

Same goes for A&E and BBCA...When I first got DirecTV , those were two of my most favored channels...I mean i could turn them on most times and get programs like Lovejoy, and the Sharpes movies...Now, most of their programs are shinola. BBCA still has a few good programs in their lineup, but I can’t remeber the Last time I watched anything on A&E.
I still remember the “good old days” with A&E, they had some good period pieces, and If memory serves *they* were the ones who aired the Poriot series on the weekends...Too bad..so sad. Now all it is is and imitation of the Biography Channel.

LOL! Monster Quest....they never find any monsters, or even aliens for that matter.

I know what you mean. I loved the show where they went underground into tunnels or unearthed ancient Roman cities. I found a channel called History International on Comcast #116. There they repeat the “good” History Channel shows.
