Gettysburg: The Battle That Saved America appears tonight on the military channel at 8PM CST, I see it is a repeat, would appreciate any comments, a must see or only marginal etc. I only partially caught the Civil War Generals discussion on C-Span by major Civil War authors moderated by Gen Wesley Clark, missed the repeat but what I saw was excellent and am trying to not miss anymore opportunities. There is a following hour long program on the Gettysburg address. One of my favorite programs was an interview of the late Shelby Foote (I've forgotten the interviewer) in his study where he did his writing and I just happened on that program, he was a very interesting and of course colorful character.

Cam, I see where a lot of programs on the military channel and I think the history channel are available on YouTube and Facebook, I don't know if they are complete programs and new programs are rotated thru but I think so. I used to have HDTV and a DVR but when I moved a year ago I downsized and do not have a dvr. I'm thinking you could record programs to disc but you had to get the computer involved. I recenly had just the basic cable and am just not interested in pawn shops and ice driving so expanded to digital cable and am currently enjoying a show on Monty and El Alamein well worth the extra cable bill. What I wasn't able to record I could order excellent programs from the PBS shop. I had an excellent WWI documentary based on the book by Prof Hew Strachan, done in the style of The World at War and had that complete series with extras also, but a certain unnamed Major borrowed and never returned the WWI while stationed in Kabul 2006-2007 with the national guard, anyway, the military channel recently showed this but I wasn't able to record it, but PBS Shop seems to carry a lot of history and military programs from these speficic channels, but they must be purchased. HDTV's are getting cheaper, my cable only offers DVR's but there are digital video recorders that record to various devices but think my cable co would only let me use it's DVR which only stores a limited amount of programs and not able to record to other devices, maybe other members know more about this, would appreciate any information. Cam, I thought with a satellite dish in Australia you might have access to about anything. |

I was able to record this one and the one about the GB address. I watched a few minutes of the show and found it very interesting. |

Ray, Thanks for the advice, I will look up PBS. We have satellite TV, but the History Chanel does not appear to show much ACW stuff. Cheers |

Gentlemen, I also like the Gettysburg program, although it said it was a repeat I do not remember seeing it before and offered some new insights. The History Channel has a great series on the Civil War, hadn't seen it on in a long time, the last I saw one was very early in the morning, they seem to be more into profiling current jobs, modern marvels, or how things are made, last week there was a show on "dirt". Since I added the digital package lately, there are 3 additional history channels (in addition to the military channel) and they show a lot more of the traditional history programs, but the pawn, pickers, and extreme job programs seem to be popular right now. They are interesting but an occassional World at War or something from the Civil War series are always repeatedly watchable to me. |

Civil War Journal is on Tuesday mornings on the History Channel at 7 AM EST. Seems as though their better stuff is on during non primetime hours. The Military Channel has been a welcome addition to my viewing, now that we have digital. |
