Commercial TV, even digital, sucks.


All 480 channels! I watch maybe 10.


Fox News, C-Span1, C-Span2, Comedy channel, TVLand, and once and a while
MSBHO for
Doberman. Doberman is excellent, I can both keep up on the left and have
a good target
for snapping in with the PDF.

Wes
Food Channel, Sci-fi, History, Discovery, BBCA, 4 local channels, A&E, TNT,
Fox, TCM

WHAT? You don't watch, erm (what were those call letters?), oh yeah,
SPIKE? What kind of lez are you, anyway, Tawm? A bottom? Sheesh!

I got tired of seeing the same dozen listings for movies for a month
on each channel (Who wants to watch Bambi at 1am, 6am, 1pm, _and_ 4pm
_every_ Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday?

After a handful of years, I'd watched every good program History ever
put out. Discovery didn't

But...THE COMMERCIALS! Arrrrrgh, my eyes! My ears! Ayiiiiiiieeeeee!

I recently watched the local news on my only available antenna
channel. I had that mute button on for a full 17 minutes of that half
hour program, blocking out commercials. When commercials take up 57%
of the programming time, you know you have content problems, if
nothing else. I sure don't miss watching broadcast TV.

Long Live Netflix and RedBox DVD Rentals!
