[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 335589, member: 135"] Nope, not just you. Where I live, we don't have cable and can get only one channel (Fox) over air so I have satellite TV. I probably get over 150 channels and there is almost never anything on I want to watch. And what I do watch is mostly on the traditional networks. I do watch PBS occasionally and History channel is sometimes OK but it seems like over half of the channels I get are home shopping channels, something I NEVER use. I had to laugh about the Spanish channels. When I was in Egypt we had a guide who spoke flawless English and when we asked him how he learned it so well he said that when he was growing up his mother made him watch the TV shows that were broadcast in English and she wouldn't allow him to use the subtitles. So..., knowing only a LITTLE Spanish, I have been putting those channels on occasionally, hoping it will help me with my Spanish but instead of learning much, I seem to just get frustrated. We do get satellite radio through our DirecTV and I like that but lately I discovered internet radio and it has even more channels and is FREE. That's why I'm on book # 18 since January 1. [/QUOTE]
