I love MeTV! We don't have cable or satellite. We bought an amplifier at WalMart and it brings in the local channels and MeTV.
We love MeTV too!

My husband turns on the TV when he wakes, off when he goes to bed. So I'm glad I'm an insomniac, a few hours of blessed silence a day. That said, Big Bang and some of the BBC series (Downton, Midwives). We also order older BBC series from Netflix and I like them. The Brits seem to not have the preference for shows that feature beautiful people standing around posing that most US TV seems to consist of.
No cable or satellite here either. Couldn't justify the cost anymore considering how bad a lot of the content is.
It's cheaper to have HULU and Netflix and to buy the occasional season of a high quality program from Amazon for us.
I do have a nice setup, a good sized antenna in the attic, which brings in beautiful uncompressed HD (unlike cable or satellite that need to compress the signal, degrading the quality), I built a home theater PC that has Windows Media Center with full DVR capabilities, netflix built in, and organizes all of my digital music, movies and TV shows. All controlled with a remote control. We can grab the wireless keyboard and open up a regular browser and watch YouTube if we wish, or whatever else we want to stream.
Wow. Now there's a home theater. And I'm not being facetious.
After 5 months without cable, the antenna/computer setup paid for itself! It helps to be a bit techie and I like DIY projects!
Oh.... Ms Gravy Queen reminded me of one of my favorite programs (or is it favourite programmes?): TOP GEAR!
I love that show. Not the lame American knock-off, but the British original with Jeremy Clarkson and his cronies. Unfortunately, our cable company switched things around and now I don't know where BBC America landed.
GQ, I'm glad you mentioned "Call the Midwife"...I really enjoyed the first season and can't wait to get the next.
Call the Midwife : PBS
Lol... what's not to love? They're a group of 10-year-olds in middle-aged bodies having fun with dangerously fast machines!Steve - groan , oh yes, lots of Top Gear in this house !

This may be of interest to those who have Netflix.
Kevin Spacy (one of my favorite actors) is staring in this new series made exclusively for Netflix, called "House of Cards". He was just interviewed this morning on the Today Show and it sounds like a riveting concept and story.

Ykies, I just watched the first episode. Not for the faint of heart nor the easily offended. Definitely R rated.
