They'll probably come and destroy us once they start getting Three's Company.That's certainly the feeling I get whenever it pops up on my tv.
Oh man! We are sooooooooo screwed!

I don't think it is that hard to find........practically any large city has one or two alien TV stations.

Oh, goody, another ten million channels, few of which, if any, are worth watching unless these aliens are really interesting and creative. Me like-um Lone Ranger, John Wayne, and stuff like that. Do you suppose the aliens have something that good?

"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits."

Yes, I understand that. My post was simply dealing with the question of how hard it would be to hear them from here. One way of addressing that question is by asking how hard it would be for them to hear us, if they had our equipment.

Do you suppose the aliens have something that good? We have '24'. Due to the slightly different rotational speed of their home planet, the aliens have '27'.

If this new channel were on cable, then more eyeballs could be watching for alien transmissions.

If a remote civilization had TV and we could pick up the signals, that civilization stands an excellent chance of being as extinct as a cold cinder. Due to extreme lapse in time from transmission to reception and TV's innate idiocy and diseased values, such signals would be like hearing a tape recording of the gunshot in a suicide inquest - eerie and long after the fact. In fact, ANY civilization with TV is doomed.

Probably we'll get alien-dubbed pirate episodes of Star Trek.
