   Doug Elrod to All   
   Cheesy Movies, and Where to Find Them

   From: dre1@cornell.edu   
      
   With the demise of the small UHF stations (like KTMA), the cheap (and   
   sometimes out-of-copyright) movies they used to show might be harder to find.    
   But it appears that SUBCHANNELS in the new broadcast digital system are   
   CHOCK-FULL of them!   
      
   If you have a "digital cable" system, you can occasionally find these channels   
   hidden away at the high numbers (say, 1500 (!)).  If you happen to have a "TV   
   Antenna", you can attach it to your digital TV (and make sure to tell the TV   
   that you wish to    
   tune to antenna-based channels), and then find these channels (at locations   
   such as "4-3" or "12-2").   
      
   It appears that many of the old original "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movies   
   are still being aired this way, along with many others which look EMINENTLY   
   MSTable!

   movies! ;-)
