> The quality of the content on TV seems to have been in a steady decline for many years. You are too kind... it largely sucks. I have Sky+ here in the UK and there are a not-insignificant number of programmes that are on 3 channels at the same time. In addition, the same shit gets shown over and over again: A case in point is the ITV Bourne channel... which then switches to become the ITV Matrix channel and over and over again (It's actually ITV4 but they keep showing the same stuff repeatedly. Also, take the Discovery channels (I mean all the others too like History and so on). They used to have actual decent content but now it's all reality crap with the odd programme about nature. When you add in other shows about Kim Kardashian or <celeb of the week> and 24 hour news then there isn't much left. I don't watch much in the way of TV these days (over a week it probably averages out to 30 mins a day or something) but I do record some programmes to watch later: My favourites being Columbo and anything to do with dinosaurs or outer space :) That being said, I always forward through the ads... I fail to see how advertising on a channel that just shows repeats actually brings any significant value to the advertiser!
