The History Channel
National Geographic
Discovery Channel
The Comedy Channel
Fox News
BBC World
Sky News
TV1........which is old classic TV shows
CNN
BBC Knowledge

And apart from the odd movie and sporting event, the rest of the stuff is useless

Oh, dont mind the music channels in the background once in a while, Max and Country Music
I used to thoroughly enjoy the History and Discovery channels, but nowadays they're just full of programs that favour style over substance. It's about being "exciting" rather than informative, "thrilling" rather than interesting.

Couple that with the constant repeats, it get's very old, very quickly.
