PBS National schedule - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

A recent redesign of the PBS website has seemingly removed ready access to the network's schedule for its C- and KU-band satellite feed.
The schedule page now forces users to identify a local PBS station and the site will show that station's program grid.
Does anyone here know of a quick and dirty way to see the national satellite schedule again?

If you select a satellite provider for a market that doesn't have their own PBS station (for instance area code 56001 - Mankato, Minnesota and select DirecTV), the national PBS satellite service schedule appears as 'Public Broadcasting Service', although the logo image is broken... they must not have thought of that possibility

Thanks — I'll give it a try.
In the meantime, I've submitted feedback to their redesign and highlighted this problem. We'll see what (if anything) PBS can do about it.
Cheers.
