I see,
Craig thinks what's on cable, DBS and fiber is not crap?
There is more crap on cable, etc, than on FOTA and I don't watch any of it.
There's plenty of crap to go around, and may of the most popular
cable channels are outlets for off network shows. I don't care for
this stuff from ANY source.
I don't pay any subscriber fees, I specifically don't watch FOX and
I hardly watch anything
but the news, weather, the occasional PBS program and the free
C-Band programming from
Classic Arts Showcase. http://www.classicartsshowcase.org/
There is little else worth my time on broadcast or cable, etc. television.
Unless you live in a metropolitan area, generally the news content
and presentation suck.
Luckily for me I get free DTV from both Baltimore and Philadelphia.
If I want to watch a program from History Channel, NASA, TLC or
Discovery or something
similar, I buy or rent the DVD and watch it without any commercials.
What all commercial TV has become is useless drivel not worthy of
being called 'programming'.
I am generally in agreement with Cliff here.
There is almost nothing on broadcast TV other than sports that I
watch. The one exception is that I watched the last two seasons of 24
and have seen a a few episodes of the various CSIs.
Like most homes we only watch a handful of cable channels...
By the way Bert, I have no major problem paying subscriber fees for
the channels I watch. It is the fees for the channels that I don't
watch that I REALLY object to.
To be honest, I spend far more time sleeping with the TV on than watching it.
Regards
Craig
