I always preferred Discovery Channel HD to anything on PBS. Every once in a great while PBS will have something interesting on Nova (think its on PBS) but then immediately afterward have a show saying that all the fish in the oceans are "disappearing". I was like..WTF did they just say??
Blech..

Yeah, I'm afraid I have to agree with the rest of you.
Why do we need PBS, now that they're just another Obama propaganda channel?
Frankly, their programming's either nauseatingly political or just plain dull, dull, dull.
As soon as I heard the hate Bill Moyers was spreading, I stopped contributing and watching.

Well PBS is A free channel, Like a socialist network more or less.
Other than not being the one to hammer you by what you can and cannot do on there network, its really not interesting. PBS has seen its share of Shit in one life. just leave it well enough alone...

So, do we have to pay MS for content that's meant to be free?
PBS is superior to stuff on the Discovery channel. Shows on Discovery are for the attention deficit that are looking for entertainment. Stuff on PBS is for people that want to learn something. That's a generalization, but it's true for the most part.

Your using Xlive network, so yeah you have to pay for it. Shitty tactic isn't it.
Ah, O'well ether it catches on or it doesn't, More or less it won't catch on, since most bought the Xbox to game on, not to watch Public Broadcasting Service AKA, PBS.

Socialism isn't free, and neither is PBS.
People who work for a living pay for both.
