May work ok for your country, certainly won't work here. Entertainment wise our feds are involved in one national TV network (PBS) and one national radio network (NPR). They have biased and botched those so badly it is not even funny. There are local public access ch's and C-Span (fed's public access ch, live congressional votes & debates, committee hearings, etc...) as well as NASA TV. But from an entertainment aspect let the free market and consumers decide what they want. Obviously, in the US anyway, our feds don't have a clue what it's citizens want. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91532 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
