"When King Herod had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. 'In Bethlehem in Judea,' they replied, 'for this is what the prophet has written: 'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means the least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'" --Matthew 2:4-6. Another slammy week? Dang spammers, allergies, diarrhea, & updates (every big companies' updates (Mozilla, MS, Apple, etc.), everywhere all at onc (need to see that flick :P) again.

They took a different approach with their DTV "subchannels", here, some
subchannels many not be OTA in some areas of the USA, but Freeview is a
