Nope. My 2 OTA PBS outlets are horrible in self-promotion, except for endless Brit period-piece dramas/soap operas, currently "Poldark".
Not sure of the wisdom of the 10:00 PM start time either. And only the bigger stations will carry it, while smaller ones - KRCB - will have "New Scandanavian Cooking-Happy Holiday Food".
The 3-disc DVD/BR is already available from PBS at $45.

Not a time slot for working schlubs like myself. Sometimes I regret tossing the VCR!
Pickled Herring is an acquired taste.
One can time-shift record to hard drive with Win 7 and Media Center. But at 8 hours total, that'll take some juggling.
At 6 hours per VHS tape, I'll get most of it onto one tape. No computer connection needed, no viruses, easily copied for other folks, probably won't even make a backup - what's not to like? (Well, except that I'm running out of storage space for my tapes.)

Can you still buy blank tapes?
If not I may have a few around, just PM me.
A few years ago I gave away a whole big box of recorded tapes. I had the whole Addams Family series. The entire Gungdam Wing animation series. The original Thin Man movies. Some "adult" films.
Just knew I would never watch them. My high end Mitsubishi died, and a friend gave me one of his spares. I finally pulled out of the bedroom system, it had become just a clock. I also have a Panasonic DVD/HDD recorder, but it has an analog tuner. I could use it with an analog to digital converter, but I had to set the timers on both. Too much hassle.
I have a Magnavox with a digital tuner and a 100Gb hard drive. Ideal for time shifting. It will output 1080p,at the time cost about $200.
I just looked, not fond of Walmart, but twin tuner with 1TB for under $400, see link. They have a single tuner 500GB for under $300.
