I don't have the problem of watching too much TV. I have a condition
that prevents me from sitting still enough to actually watch TV.
Honestly I may watch 2 hours a week.  In the house hold I receive the
least value of the $90/mon we are paying.  However, I do have the desire
to learn all the time and I need that need to be met.  If I can get into
a mode to watch TV I'll watch something decent that I may learn from.
Even If I've seen it 10x before.

BBC Four has a lot of good programming but not to the US.  I've used Tor
to make it appear if I was in the UK so I could watch some of their
educational programming.

I can do stuff like that but the kids and wife can't.
