Re: Terrible conclusions

I gets better. They deem that channel surfing is now an integral part of watching tv (and something that viewers find very valuable), and that a la carte programming would reduce channel surfing, therfore tv "viewership" would go down! Wasn't that part of the point in a la carte?

Re: Terrible conclusions

VALUABLE??? The only reason people channel surf is because of all the CRAP programming that is put out now a days, and when you do have a couple of programs you like you have to flip flop because of all of the advertisements that you are bombarded with.

Re: Terrible conclusions

How are you supposed to be surfing with these slow-assed cable boxes that sometimes even miss changing the channel, and which a Comcast employee said herself to me once that the tuner box "isn't meant for channel surfing"?

Why do people "channel surf"? Cuz there's 30 channels of crap in between the shows they like! That's why!
