[QUOTE="Star*, post: 335539, member: 4964"] Nooooooope. Sorry. I'm 45 - I'm have cable in the den for DF with the extra Western Channel tier for him. We PAY for that quality TV because the rest of the cable we get is in our opinion garbage. No offense to anyone hispanic, but he was infuriated when we got our Time Warner set up, and we had to pay for three stations that were completely in Spanish. FURIOUS. So I had to call the local office and tell them to BLOCK the channels. He didn't even want them as he cruised through. I couldn't blame him, but I'm a little more tolerant. They told us we could do it on OUR TV. Not good enough. He wanted credit for the 2 stations. He kept on and on until they finally just took a minute to block them. He finally said - JUST TAKE THEM OFF I DON'T CARE IF I PAY FOR THEM. We got DVR service at a reduced rate. lol The rest of what's on? Well...if you don't want to watch a cop show, or a doctor show, or a lawyer show, or a reality show, buy something, or send money to the Lord? There's not much left but Animal planet and History channel....and that's what I watch. lol. I have a few shows I enjoy - but even last Saturday I went into Blockbuster to rent a movie and the staff was rude, no one greeted me with a smile, it was like I didn't exist...the movies that were POPULAR were not anything I cared to see, and not once but TWICE a staff person cut in front of me without saying excuse me to put movies up - and believe me there was NO particular order in that store -it was all mishmosh....couldn't find anything felt defeated and left. At least on the way out one fella said "Have a nice day." :winking: - That at least made me want to come back sometime. So no, I don't think it's you ----I find myself enjoying the shows like All in the Family and Sanford and Son when they do come on. Guess I'm showing my age too. I like Bones - but it's on the SAME time we eat and honestly I don't have the stomach to eat while she's digging in a corpse with all those great sound and visual effects. :sick: [/QUOTE]
