Edited to add: we are on Dish. Switched to the Flex pack. Lost Science Channel, kids and music channels and locals. Bill dropped from $114 to 61. It could have been less but we added the action pack for $10. AXS and Fox Sports 1 are worth that.

Yes, very few actual DIY projects on DIY or HGTV. The first such show is still the best, This Old House on PBS. Most of the stuff on DIY and HGTV is garbage. I like Rehab Addict with Nicole Curtis, if you can get past her munchkin like voice, but she actually shows how to restore old homes. I miss the Two Furniture Guys and the New Yankee Workshop, both of which used to be on PBS. Norm retired his New Yankee Workshop. Not sure what happened to the Two Furniture Guys, maybe they are still on local access somewhere.
As for cooking the Cooking channel sucks! The only ones I watch or old reruns from PBS, new shows from America's Test Kitchen, and a few more from PBS. I miss the Two Fat Ladies cooking show from England. It was a hoot, but the little old lady who smoked on every show died of cancer--go figure! Do you remember Justin Wilson, the Louisiana comedian and cook? I always liked his cooking show, but he died several years ago too.
