      Howdy! Mike,              I've only seen the first Eight Doctors on my TV Set.              I've seen the First Seven Doctor Who Series on my old analog tv set and       saw the Eighth Doctor on a Special (on the ABC TV Network iirc).              That was before the TV Stations were 'encouraged' to start broadcasting in       Digital Mode.              Digital TV works fairly fine when the Weather is calm, but during storms       it acts different than a Analog TV signal did.              I got 2 Digital TV Convertor Box Coupons from the U.S. Government when       they offered them, and have the convertors connected in between the       Antenna and each Set.              So far Digital Over The Air TV has cost me $20.00 USD, but each TV Station       is broadcasting other sub channels, so I'm getting to see Shows from other       TV Networks, one of which has Doctor Who.              I detest wanting to pay a Cable TV Company to watch the current Doctor Who       shows on the BBC Channel, because of the many other hundreds of Channels       they carry on the cable that I don't care to watch.              I don't want to pay for the priviledge to switch to another TV Channel       or to Turn the set OFF.              Some of what I've read on Wikipedia about the later Doctor Who shows makes       me think they are not as good as the older series shows that I watched.              WBNA TV 21.4 has the Retro TV Network, and currently I'm watching the       Doctor Who shows with the Third Doctor for one hour Monday- Friday.              On Saturday Retro TV has Doctor Who scheduled for two hours, currently with       the Sixth Doctor, but WBNA only carries 1 1/2 hour of Doctor Who that day       and has a Sportcast during the last 30 minute segment.              Six and a Half Hour is better than no Doctor Who at all.              One thing I've noticed when the titles for the Third Doctor are shown at       the Beginning and End of the show is that as the colored lines are       changing shape, at one point the shape looks like a Storm Trooper       Helmet briefly.              If You can watch WBNA in Frankfort, KY, see if You notice what I 'think'       I'm seeing when the show starts up.              You know how I am..............                     ...
