1. Other ... I've seen it and I LOVE it!

I'm totally addicted ... though it did take me a little while to get used to the format.

[Darkhawk32]

2. Saw a video about the poppy fields in Afghanistan. Very well done. n/t

[Birthmark]

3. Bores me silly. Sorry.

[ThomWV]

9. I Agree With You

I've tried it a number of times and after about 5 minutes I have to change the channel. It just puts me to sleep.

[OnionPatch]

4. I like it

I watch it a lot. Some of the pods are fascinating. I like the concept. If more people knew about it maybe more would send in videos and it could get veeeery interesting.

[Greyhound]

5. Needs way more content.

I thought it was interesting the first time I watched, but there's a lot that's not good and it repeats too much. IMO:shrug:

6. I love it, but they show the same stuff repeatedly.

They have this one great segment of this young man traveling through Afghanistan, it's really exciting, I can feel the danger and you get a good close up view of what it's like there. But they always cut if off RIGHT BEFORE they get to Tora Bora, then I never see the next edition where he gets to Tora Bora. As far as I know there isn't a directory of what is on , so you can't really plan when you are going to see anything, What I do see, though, is just great. The kind of information that is never on television and it is entertaining.

7. I assume they will show Part 2 of that report either in the next week

or the week after that. I doubt they have shown it yet.

[Eric J in MN]

10. They show what will be on in the next half-hour

on their homepage:
http://www.current.tv/

If you meant that they don't release a listing further into the future, then yes.

8. To people who say it repeats too much:

You can tell them that at:

[Politicub]

11. I think it rocks, but

it is heavy on repeats. That will change over time, but I still like it and watch it.

[Eric J in MN]

12. I had hoped it would be a channel which would help

get more Democrats elected, but so far it doesn't seem very useful in that regard.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

13. Seen it, like it, kudos to Al for it......

we need MORE of the same! Television to educate young Americans to the truth the media doesn't cover.

[rustydog]

14. I'm watching current right now!

[Greybnk48]

15. my son's friends rave about it

all around 20 something. One girl is from Spain and is living here for a couple of years. She's one of the loudest cheerleaders.

[WA98296]

16. I wish I liked it...but its too random for me, need to know what's coming

22. There is a full schedule at

17. Don't get it down here in Dallas

I'll check out the website. Thanks.

[question everything]

18. Where do I find it?

Is it on regular cable channels? Of course, if Comcast broadcasts Sundance on west coast schedule and recently canceled Trio, I doubt that it carries Current TV.

[Eric J in MN]

19. I watch it on Comcast, and

I pay $6.50/month more for "Digital Extra" to get it.

Do you have Comcast Digital?

[question everything]

20. Yes I do

Paying a lot for about 300 channels that we watch may be 10, or 15.

But I am looking at the list and do not see anything under "current." Would it be in one of the Community programs, or Public Access? Mine is the "Northwest Suburbs."

Wonder whether I can find it on their web page..

[Eric J in MN]

21. Try channel 107.

To actually get it, it's another $6.50 per month for "Digital Extra."

[question everything]

25. Yes, it is. And I do need to pay

right now I am "unauthorized" to view it.

I cannot believe that they have so much junk for free but for quality channels, like Trio and Current one has to pay. That's a perfect way to kill it. "No one is watching it..."

Thanks for the info

[Eric J in MN]

26. One quick call to Comcast

to ask for "Digital Extra" and they should add it to your TV service before the phone call ends.

[Deja Q]

23. What's it about?

The webpage is a bit lax on details and high on pretentious gloss.

[Eric J in MN]

24. They run short videos (most 5 minutes or less)

24 hours day/7 days a week.

Some are created by the general public.

The complete schedule of these short videos is at:
http://www.current.tv/schedule/

More videos deal with culture than with politics.
