Antiques roadshow
     
by u dont know what ur doing · June 4, 2026

Antiques roadshow is a cultural map of the world. It brings all levels of art, relics, hearsay, crafts &amp; lost stories in a venue that doesn’t exist any where else in the world. <br/>Offering expert advice to common folk &amp; objects that otherwise would’ve been lost in time, translation and ignorance. <br/>There’s something of value in every level of the human condition from baseball card collections to lost heirlooms from wars to ancient cultures beyond that are priceless!<br/>Where else but on PBS would such a show of die hard experts who treasure history, art &amp; story telling be willing to gather, share their wisdom, enthusiasm with such integrity &amp; value of random collections of people, places &amp; forgotten treasures!

Good content unfortunately stopped streaming main channel
     
by MedhatGA · June 19, 2026

This app was superb and in many ways still is for streaming passport content and viewing PBS substations. Several weeks ago, the app stopped streaming the main PBS station in my area KERA) on all platforms (AppleTV, iPad, website, etc). Trying to get support or to inform PBS of the problem is a throwback to stone age support. I know the station is not off the air since I can view it on my antenna. Also did all the troubleshooting including deleting and reinstalling the app. Since the problem is on multiple platforms, it must be related to PBS streaming service itself.

Plenty to enjoy

Quality

Absolutely the most engaging entertainment. Wonderful dramas mysteries science. I use it much more than any other streaming service.

My “go to” news source

Here I get the entire story, with respect for the listener to consume information to make our own decisions; not telling us what to think, but allowing us to think.

Video issues

Love pbs but the videos regularly stop/crash.

Every time I tap to watch the latest Newshour episode. Wish it was a rare occurrence.
