Advantages: BBC quality - no imports

Disadvantages: hard to find out what's on in advance.

BBC Knowledge is one of the new digital channels from the BBC which basically repackages old documentaries with some new material thrown in for good measure.

It sounds rubbish but you can actually discover some real gems that were obviously buried in late night BBC2 or opposite 'Eastenders' 1st time round.

Each day has a theme such as history, the arts, business and they then show 3 or 4 programmes related to the topic on a cycle throughout the day.

It is also one of the 1st channels to start to utilise the digital technology by letting you find out further info via your remote control whilst watching.

My only gripes with the channel is that it isn't on long at the weekend - which is when I have time to watch it - and it can be hard to find out when programmes are on as most newspapers and TV mags don't carry much info on the channel.

It won't become a channel you watch all the time but you might just see a great show you missed 1st time
