With the demise of the small UHF stations (like KTMA), the
cheap (and sometimes out-of-copyright) movies they used to
show might be harder to find. But it appears that SUBCHANNELS
in the new broadcast digital system are CHOCK-FULL of them!
If you have a "digital cable" system, you can occasionally
find these channels hidden away at the high numbers (say, 1500
(!)). If you happen to have a "TV Antenna", you can attach it
to your digital TV (and make sure to tell the TV that you wish
to tune to antenna-based channels), and then find these
channels (at locations such as "4-3" or "12-2").
It appears that many of the old original "Mystery Science
Theater 3000" movies are still being aired this way, along
with many others which look EMINENTLY MSTable!

*need* of such movies! ;-)
