There are a lot of networks and channels. Which of them have their shows represented in your DVD/Blu-ray collection?

For example, I have the following networks/channels represented in my DVD/Blu-ray collection:
Nine Network
0-10 Network (now Network Ten)
Seven Network
ABC (Australia)
NBC
CBS
ABC (US)
FOX
Discovery Channel
The History Channel
DuMont Television Network
Animal Planet
BBC1 (and probably also BBC2)
ITV (including Thames Television, ATV, ABC, Yorkshire Television, London Weekend Television, Granada)
Channel Four (UK)
Nickelodeon
CBC
SVT (Sweden)
ZDF (Germany)
Plus several Japanese broadcasters who are represented by a few anime series and a variety TV special
Possibly one or two others.

EDIT: I have since added additional broadcasters to my TV-On-DVD collection, including "HTV" (a British broadcaster, part of ITV), and "Programme One" (a channel of the former Soviet Union)

We're not fighting! We're in complete agreement! We hate each other!

I'm curious as to where in Australia you are from. I'm living in Melbourne at the moment but was brought up in country areas.

When I was a child we only had two channels: STV8 was the commercial channel and the ABC which was on channel 4 where I lived.

To answer your question, Pretty much my entire life I've lived in areas served by the Melbourne stations.

I know I use the word "Australia" in a lot of my forum posts, but that's only because I am trying to prove to the rest of the world that Australia (there's that word again) had TV as far back as the 1950s...I've done everything possible to prove the country had TV during the 1950s, which takes a lot of work. Though I do admit the shows produced in the country during the 1950s were often very simple...for example the first regularly-aired variety show produced in Melbourne ("The Isador Goodman Show") consisted of a guy playing the piano in a 15-minute times-slot, sometimes with a guest vocalist....still, if any kinescopes turn up of the series I'd like to see them.

Yes, I'm weird.

Do any episodes survive of 1950s Australian version of "What's My Line"?
