What tv services do people here use? Standard or digital cable? or a dish? These services cost 40 dollars + a month and the only thing that interests me is sci fi and the discovery/learning channels. The main grumble I have with it is all the commercials. I will be watching a really good show and then gets interupted so i can be informed about how aol is number one or a commercial with people blowing snot and coughing all over and which medicine you HAVE to take so you will feel better. I was watching an old western last night and every commercial break was WHAT CAN BROWN DO FOR YOU? (a ups commercial) I work there and already dislike the place enough so this was extremely irritating to me. If you spend 6 months of your life opening junk mail I wonder how many years people waste away with watching commercials. if im watching tv it means i probly dont have anything better to do but I value every minute of life and dont want to waste it watching commercials. I wish someone would put together a nation wide boycott and it wouldnt take long to get this crap off the air. but people today just dont care about anything like that. for 40 dollars a month you could rent a LOT of movies. Are there any tv services in the works that will let you pick and only pay for the channels you want? I live at home with parents and when I want to watch something i just record it from direct tv so I can speed through the commercials. Sci fi puts on some of my favorite shows that you cant rent otherwise that is a commercial full junk channel too. If I could pay for just discovery/sci fi then I would. I just spent nearly 200 dollars on Lexx dvd's so I could watch them all commercial free and uncut.
