AMC3,AT 87 degrees has several PBS stations,many with AC3 audio.My favorite is Montana PBS.I've never downloaded the AC audio fix for my Traxxis 3500,but Montana PBS is regular audio. G18(G10R) has several channels,with older tv programming.Google RTN (Retro Television Network),to get a better idea.Also there are several spanish stations,a couple of religious,and a couple of science and health channels.Been a while since I scanned it,so could be more by now. 73,David
