Digital Cable / TV. It used to be that you could sit back with the remote and flip through the channels to find something good on. Now it takes a few seconds for the next channel to "start up" that you can't quickly scan through them. Oh, and the proliferation of "junk" channels on cable means that you still couldn't channel surf because of all the crap you have to wade through, and the half dozen channels out of several hundred that might have a show you are interested in is more likely than not to have a commercial running when you land on it.
Yes, we have more choice with more channels, and streaming, and independent media, but I'd almost rather have limited choice of higher quality than to have a choice of thousands of "meh" options.
