PBS show on how cathedrals were built

Its on tonight here in Seattle (western us) at 8:00pm so it might not be watchable online just yet, but i think they'll eventually have it up. Seems like it could have a lot of great ideas for modelers and map makers.

I've been watching the 16 part doc of "Climbing Great Buildings" on the BBC, there should be torrents up for all of it with good seeding. Was a good watch, most of the buildings are relevant to TDMish stuff and the presenting was good, nice ideas and background commentary.

 

"Churches: How To Read Them" was also ok, not as good but interesting if you didn't have a clue like myself

Also grabbed "Rosslyn Chapel, A Treasure In Stone", but haven't watched it yet.

 

I don't know what I'd do without good ol mvgroup I almost feel obliged to pay for a UK TV license just because of the BBC stuff, our localized BBC channels only have docs on once in a blue moon, and they don't bring in many DVD releases. Good 'ol SA.

Yeah - no worries, I'm paying for your BBC TV coverage!

 

Actually it probably costs us almost nothing extra, likely earns from advertising? It just seems an oddity that we in the UK have to pay a licence fee even if we don't watch BBC whereas more and more the rest of the world can watch for nothing.

 

I'm just wondering how these new internet box > TVs work - do they show advertising in some form? Seems to me that ISPs will be paying part of the costs in massive download increases as more and more people watch TV on line.

 

I've never really got much into internet video because of my 5GB monthly download limit. Eventually I'll have to get another package with unlimited.

5gb mines 300gb per month off peak.
