In reply to my assessment that Television is a vast wasteland, rantanamo asserts, "are you sure? The offerings have been outstanding the last few years. Right now, not so much, but during TV season, yes."
And the only thing that I can say is that there is no accounting for viewer preferences. And since my preferences are not the mainstream norm, it somewhat leaves rantanamo's viewing tastes as the winner of the argument. Even though prime time television is mainly an endless diet of cops and robbers themes, situation comedies, and similar, more geared to distractions than learning or thinking.
Its my hope that multicast technology when multiplied by a fairly large number of OTA channels, will finally open up more choices for me and other people with other niche market viewing tastes. Even though religious channels are not my cup of tea, at least other people are getting more choices.
