Here in Alberta at the moment, Shaw cable carries both Seattle and Detroit NPR. A nice combination, not only because of the tw0 hour difference, but Detroit has more money and carries some programs not shown by Seattle.
Napoleon Bonaparte was a half-caste, part 'abo,' not PC today. I think that is why the series is not offered.

If it wasn't for NPR and BBCTV News channel, and a couple of channels carrying old stuff like Gleason, I would find little to justify having cable TV.

I think the Hillerman series missed the boat. I have enjoyed many happy moments in the Navajo Nation and the region in general, and find the character development shallow and even the landscapes poorly portrayed.
