BBC America
I like watching BBC America, since the US can't get BBC video programing off the net. BBC Radio is available, but not BBC TV. So with that in mind and only 24 hours in a day, why are they wasting precious time showing American programs like Star Trek and X-Files? They should only show British programs.

I don't get it since I dropped DirecTV, but I only watched the news, Dr. Who and Torchwood which are all definitely British ...(though the news was slanted to U.S.A.)

It's a sad fact that those so-called reality shows pay the bills; and so do those blasted half-hour infomercials.

I enjoy it as well, in addition to Dr Who, Torchwood, and Survivors I enjoy Being Human, but now I see SyFY (I still think that is truly stupid name) is doing their own version - anyone know why? The BBC one was perfectly fine.

Sold the rights to it... we have copied a lot of BBC shows and Americanized them. Some work some dont some people are completely unaware that some shows are remakes at all. I also know some of our shows have been remade over there too. If they are any good people will watch if not they will go away. I enjoyed the Life on Mars remake but it didn't do as well as the BBC version. Oh Well
