DS9 has some weird licensing attached to it that makes it rare to be seen in reruns on TV anymore. The last I saw of it was on Spike TV a couple of years ago but it wasn't there for very long. TNG and Voyager are still on Space here in Canada but I don't know if SyFy in the US shows any Trek at all any more. Apparently SyFy doesn't actually like sci-fi anymore, judging by how fast they abandoned Precinct 17 and BSG: Blood And Chrome, and it pretty much fully gone over to "reality" dreck about idiots doing make-up contests or chasing ghosts around in mines and abandoned Rust Belt houses.
I guess that I've seen all the episodes from all the five series enough over my lifetime that I really don't need to see them again. Same with most of the TOS and TNG movies too. It'd be nice though to know that they were reliably available somewhere though. If it weren't for the licensing nightmares and the fights between studios that own the rights to the different series that would make the idea impossible, it'd be great to see all the ST consolidated on a single cable channel. I'd pay for it if it were available, not just for ST, but because it'd keep me safe from the dreck that channels like Space and SyFy have overloaded their schedules with.
