- wcoenen 7y agoMandatory pauses of at least 1 minute between scheduled programs, with no moving images, to allow viewers to wake up from their "TV zombie" state.
- kragen 7y agoMore importantly, between commercials and scheduled programs. But I was just thinking of banning broadcast TV outright, because it seems absurdly antidemocratic to ban the equivalent of broadcast TV online, but not broadcast TV itself
- kragen 7y agoReassign the TV band to license-free data transmission, like Wi-Fi but with potentially higher bandwidth and longer range. Outlaw cable TV. Or you could transmit a special signal that turns the TV off at the end of every program and before every commercial. Require new TVs to interpret the signal and turn off when received. If you want to watch another program, you have to turn the TV back on.
