Yes.

I just discovered that we get one TV channel from Mexico (!). It’s called “Once” (11) and appears to be their version of PBS minus any US public TV programming.

Compare that with US/Canadian shows where they’re all about the cordless tools, power sanders, and the best and newest of everything. (Culminating in a series of shows on HGTV called “I Want That”.)

Side note to anyone who has seen Univision or Telemundo: Those networks aren’t remotely like what real Mexican TV looks like. It’s quite an adjustment to go from one to the other.
