I remember when HGTV and Discovery channel had several sewing/crafting type shows. Now as you say it it all 'real estate' related: House Hunters, Property virgins, home renovations etc..

Although I know that many shows can be seen on the computer, I don't enjoy watching them on my computer. I sit at a computer all day and the last thing I want to do when I get home is sit in front of another computer. I used to tape Simply quilts and turn it on while I was quilting. If something really interesting came on, I would stop sewing and watch the program.
Yes, I remember when DIY & HGTV had "good" shows on. In addition to the quilting shows, they had plain ol' craft shows & even the house shows weren't geared for millionaires. How many shows about "flipping" can a person watch?!?
