One of my other interests is game shows, and I'm a member of an internet
board dedicated to game shows, both new and old.  There's a substantial
percentage of the membership there that likes the nostalgia TV channels
like Me-TV and Antenna TV.

I also like having a digital subchannel that cycles through various
weather/radar maps, which I find particularly useful any time there's a
thunderstorm and I don't really want to fire up the computer, or a heavy
enough snow storm that I worry about the satellite internet getting
blocked.
