Bizarre..Right in the middle of "Weather Underground", our DISH TV freaked out
The program switched to a Lebanese News Chat show..Most of the channels above 200 are middle eastern or French..

Where Cspan should be, I have a Korean Shopping channel

Morning Joe's channel (209) is a French channel

There's a Lebanses sit com on one of the channels:)

12. Hey, enjoy it!
A real eye on the rest of the world is to be treasured and my guess is that it won't last long, at all.

I would love to see a Lebanese sitcom some day, I'll bet it's hilarious even without translation.
