Couldn't you say the same thing about the Internet - 95% is total crap. Of course, much like tv, the 5% that you do not feel is crap is why you subscribe.

The comparison is valid for the point I was making - both mediums have large amounts of crap, but enough "quality" so that people generally subscribe.
How about suffice to say we disagree on that point. But as you say there is enough "quality" for enough people to subscribe.

Of course, everyone's definition of quality is different. If there were no other channels, I would get satellite just for ESPN and HBO, but others consider those channels worthless.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11515558 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 10:57:02 EDT Re: TV still sucks. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11515536 Maxo :

Yes, but the internet is an entirely different medium. I don't feel the two can be compared.
One thing I was thinking that may come good out of this, is since there is limited bandwidth maybe they would have an option do purchase just the channels you wants. So I could order only Fox for Simpsons, and King of the Hill, Cartoon Channel, IFC, SCI-FI, Weather Channel, CNN, and just a few others and not be forced to pay for channels in a bundle I will never watch or ever want to watch. This would increase my chance of buying pay-for-tv programing.

Yup. I get cable because of:

    •NHL Centre Ice (though, not this year)
    •Toonami
    •Adult Swim
    •Discovery Channel networks

The rest, I pretty much never watch.

Now why did I ever pay for this junk?
I hooked up eighty channels and each one stunk
Just brainless blood and guts, and mindless T & A
It's awful, it's putrid, it's crummy, it's stupid, gonna throw my set away
Just my negative opinion.
