I tend to watch PBS from the US (we have two just across the border and yes I contribute, intelligrent television is worth supporting IMO) as well as a smattering of specialty channels. What's a commercial?

I generally keep my set tuned to CNN, all the time, kinda like a white noise in the background. Although, being in the Shennandoh Valley prices are good and we have several commercial-free premium movie channels,.......so I can watch the same movie 97 times in 2 days if I want. If I'm home and awake,.....the TV is on.

Sackrat: Pretty short movies where you are then....LOL ;-)

No,.....lots of channels,.....all showing the same damn movie !

no..lots of channels showing old movies..:| and then they rotate them between tiers, so you see it over, and over, and over..:| sigh..ya Brits don't know how lucky you are with only 4 channels sometimes..;)

5 channels, but the newest 5th one might as well not exist, unless you like programmes such as "Chimpanzees that Kill" and rubbish reality TV thats a mish mash of previous genres. I was thinking of suggesting a new program, along the lines of 12 Brycers in a house together each week we are set a challenge to create different scenes and the crappest gets kicked out until the winner is left. Oh what fun!!!!!!!!!

How about "When Brycers Attack" ! Actually I'd kind of like to see "Chimpanzees that Kill", could you make a tape for me ?

Orbital: C5 has been pretty good lately. 'America's Finest' is damn good. I just love C.S.I. and The Shield.

hmmnnn.....I have 11 or 12 channels. Oddly enough, one of the best of them is an Irish-language one - there was such uproar when it was set up using taxpayers' money that they had to come up trumps, and they do fantastic programs - hard to describe, but very very interesting. When there's nothing else worth watching on, then I switch to it. Also, they run very good old movies, classics and little-known gems.

I believe Channel 5 has improved a lot (don't get it) but never hear the name without thinking of Adam Faith ('60's pop star-turned financial wiz). His final words as he channel-surfed, seconds before he keeled over with a heart-attack, were "Channel 5 really is shit, isn't it?" trying to think how many channels I have 4 British channels - BBC1, BBC2, UTV, Channel4 4 Irish ones - RTE1 & 2, TV3, TG4 Discovery, MTV, E4 Sky News, Sky1 Some kids' channel I never watch I don't subscribe to any sports or film channels

Alas Sackrat it was a one off, but you get the idea. Bryster is right about it getting better, but it's still got a long way to go. Brycers attack, good idea! We could have Drac in a house full of Poser users and await the carnage!
