BBC4 is a wonderful channel IMHO."

Steve,
Did you forget that you have to pay a pretty hefty license fee in the 
UK to watch BBC? At least the US commercial broadcast channels are 
still free, paid for by those hated commercials. PBS, the equivalent of 
BBC4 can be watched free and without commercials. Here in NYC we get 2 
free PBS stations, broadcasting 6 channels of video. That's more on PBS 
alone than I got from all of BBC in Wales.
