I agree ... NHK World is an excellent channel. I also enjoy watching it. If you have C-Band ... watch it in 1080 on Intel 16 (58W) 4040/H/26590. Back in the late 80's early 90's, I made regular trips to Japan for work. So, watching NHK brings back allot of memories. If you haven't already, tune in DW (Deutsche Welle). I like the shows and documentaries they put on too!
