I watch most of my british tv on PBS. BBC America has some good programming, but most of it lately is the stuff I don't watch (cooking, or guy shows). Gets on my nerves because there are so many excellent british shows I've watched and many still to see but they always show up on PBS (seasons behind) not BBC America...It gets on my nerves when BBC American broadcasts American shows too... I have over 300 stations of American broadcasting - why can't I have one that is only British???? Their shows are typically so much better.
