I have Dir TV, who is intelligent, unlike services that do not group their channels by type, BTW, and History and History Times are next to each other.
So, I come to 1/10 and see a special on the Scopes trial at 6am, nothing special, but I record it, then I notice that there is a Pirate special right after it, "cute" I think to myself...
Then things get weird as I see pirate special after pirate special after pirate special; from history, to boats, to modern pirates, on both channels, for the next twelve hours... what is not a pirate special is a Satan special.

Nice History Channel, thanks.
