1. Re: Use parental controls to block ABC, DISNEY, ESPN channels
Question: do cable boxes and TIVO track these things? If so, it'd be a great statement if enough people did it. Anyone know?

2. Already done. And I told Der Mausenfuherer that I did it.
Actually, I've had WCVB blocked since 2000, when they started carrying the "Doctor" Laura show. I'd been watching the Providence, RI ABC station instead.

if it gets into their "metrics" about channels watched/blocked I will do it in a heartbeat!
