I doubt that many people outside of the U.S. even know what PBS stands for. We do, however, watch a great deal of british and american made TV shows, and I suggest we stick to net.tv.british and net.tv.american. We might even want a net.tv.swedish where we can discuss the 5-hour TV version of Bergman's Fanny and Alexander and the new series about the life of Strindberg :-) Anything of more local interest should go to the local networks, like usa.tv.pbs, china.tv, etcetera. Discussions about the Sky Channel, which is viewed over most of Europe, should probably go to eunet.tv.sky. Leif Samuelsson ..mcvax!enea!erix!erisun!leif
