| For $2.99 a month you can add this and 5 Discovery channels to Direct TV.
| These are now the only channels I ever watch!  It's too bad you can't pay
| $2.99, and only get those channels!
|
| DIY shows you how to rebuild/refinish your car, do electrical work,
| carpentry. It's the best channel ever for the Stupid Box. It almost
| doesn't belong on TV. The Discovery channels are great also.  Very
| educational, and cool.
