It's changing, slowly. As FIOS rolls out from the phone company (Verizon) you can start to get tv via their fiber optic pipe instead of the cable company. You can also always just get a dish and flip over to that option.

Re: BBC America improving ?
Actually the poll didn't have any recent shows either it just had shows from the mid seventies to early eighties which is good for people like me but not so good for anyone older or younger. Either way Trumpton was the best followed by the flumps and wombles. I am going to change my avatar in protest.
. I laughed when I saw the avatar.I really hope they do update the programmes tho, there are much better ones they could be showing instead of the crap on there at the moment.

Re: BBC America improving ?
I cant understand why the make the BBCA soooooo bad - why the Benny Hill, why the Cash in the Attic for 8 hours a day,
I mean its made by BBC who know what we want to watch in the UK - then take all the crap or things that are from the dark ages and put them on BBCA??
I mean we got a few episodes into Waking the Dead (BBC's top 5 rated drama in the UK) which showed at 1am in the morning and then finished halfway through the series with no further schedule???!!!
Who's line is it anyway was funny in 1991, I do like How clean is your house just to watch those filthy buggers!
and Footballers Wives ..... please!! does anyone in the UK actually watch it?? give it back to Sky and ask for a refund!

Re: BBC America improving ?
Actually, US federal law trumps state and local laws that prohibit dishes. If you want a dish (under a certain size) then the federal government gives you that right, regardless of your local officials.
