Does anyone else love Aerial America?
Aerial America is on the Smithsonian channel. I watch it through YouTube TV.
Its basically a drone flying over all the states and showing the highlights of the state. The narrator has a really calming voice that is relaxing. And the information they have about the state is really informative. Each episode is about one state.

(63,198 posts)I stumbled on it while giving blood about 4 years ago and have been hooked ever since. We recently switched from DISH - which charged a premium rate to get Smithsonian) to YouTubeTV. I was so happy to see Smithsonian was in their lineup for no extra charge.

(63,198 posts)Dish basically doubled the price on me over a year. When I called them, everything they offered me had a contract associated with it. The I saw what YouTubeTV offered for slightly more than 1/3 of what Dish's price was I very happily called Dish and let them have it.
We added Brit Box for my wife who just loves their mysteries and comedies for I think $7 a month.
The most interesting thing for me is that the picture we get w/Youtube is much clearer and sharper than it was with Dish. It was like going from mono records to stereo. I have been amazed.

(63,198 posts)it would just be nice to have numbers I know especially to see what a certain station is showing tonight. Such as what is on Smithsonian tomorrow morning? Pinch in a number (say 220) that is Smithsonian and look to see what they are carrying - or Turner movies etc.
Hardly a deal breaker but it would make it so much more convenient.
Also wish they had FreeSpeechTV. I can get that on my computer - but, convenience.

(10,877 posts)It is really a relaxing show and I admit I took a nap now and then in the middle of some of them because I was tired. But the dog idea is great because our dogs wine sometimes when were leaving. Thanks for the post.
