Re: Direct TV
We have had DTV for about three months and generally it is fine.... however, when we were getting it set up I was trying to call the customer service line to commence services and the wait time was between 1-2 hours on hold before you got through! Apparently there was a snow storm on the East Coast and everyone was calling in to report loss of service. So I guess satisfaction is going to be climate dependent.

[QUOTE=strim]
While spending time with my fiancee in Missouri we would often watch BBC America (her family favourite channel - they are all anglophiles 
) I found myself feeling pride as Blackadder, The Office and Coupling - the pride of UK comedy in my opinon ) was followed by Benny Hill and Are you being served - I shuddered and felt I had to apologise on the UK's behalf !
I think BBC America is run by Americans - surley the program controller can't be British because they would know better
Where is "Only Fools and horses" ?
(apologies for typos / spelling !!)

We chose it over cable as it has BBC America and the cable companies where we are don't.
