Man, so true. I'm a chicken for not kicking my TV's ass today. ... The only worth while are soothing saturday morning cartoons and occasionally Dr. Who on BBC World ... But the practice of some guy in belgium telling me when to watch and how ticks me off the most. On the recording side of things: perhaps you should start your own 'one man tapes the race, the rest get a download link'-group ... like the BBS'es in the olden days. Man, now I'm not sure if I'm supporting you or mocking you. ;-) At any rate: 99.9% of the content on cable truly sucks, which is very liberal I think, considering it's 24x30*99.9= 716 hours and 20 minutes of suckyness and PERHAPS 3 hours of semi quality a day of which you might actually catch half an hour because most great stuff is hidden in the night. What would a channel director say if I (and many other with me) would tell him that I'm willing to pay DOUBLE the current subscription money for only that 0.1 percent, as long as I can only see that, and at the moments I choose? I think he would have an aneurism on the spot. Brave, salute and here here! Man, so true.
