Notice that they've finally got us paying for television?
And that they also have commercials, so the injury is on top of the insult?

And there's still nothing on to watch?

Pink Floyd were optimistic with "13 channels of shit on the TV to choose from...".

Well, how about a "Teh Lounge" channel, for us? That would be...something :)

1. You've always paid for TV.
The Euro way: taxes and "licenses to watch television".
The US way: Tons of commercials pushed in your face.

If only I had access to some spare satellite capacity somewhere...

Then we can have that Lounge Channel, no problem at all... oh and to help funding for it I will have to allow the sex threads cos we all know sex sells.

2. We don't.
Never had cable at our house. We usually don't watch it much anyway, and then it's normally PBS. Didn't have to buy a converter box, neither. Hubs did some magic with an old laptop, a 17" flat panel and some odd and end doohickies (don't ask me coz I don't know.) I live with McGuyver. :rofl:

:hi:

4. Oh, that's just nasty.
:P

I'm not paying for television. I haven't bought a television in perhaps over a decade.
