A lot of the BBC and PBS programs are freely available at the source without ever needing to worry about ethical issues. I’m going to go with sirhcton on this one.

Your suggestion that there might be ethical problems only strengthens my impression that it is probably not for me. Regardless of its other virtues, whatever they may be, mvgroup.org really does not succeed as a web site.

Registration is free, and there is no ratio.

The good old days when a National Geographic Special on PBS, narrated by Alexander Scorby, of course, was so truly special that it caused real ratings drops for the three other networks. There was a window of time when we often recorded television shows for fear of seeing them again. It now appears that many are continualy recycled reruns on some channel or otherwise available. Sturgeon's Law (or Revelation for the true pickers of nit) still applies. Ahhh, yes.
