I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Digital TVFFS, who on earth thinks endlessly repeated episodes of the same show night after night are of any use to anyone except those with severe alzheimers and angry loners?
Even the repeats of decent shows like Top Gear, MTW and so forth on Dave start to get on your nerves after the umpteenth re-screening.
Are these channels really making so little from advertising revenue that they cant afford to produce a decent sitcom or drama?
All I see these days are z-list celebrity and prolitarian talent shows (talent is used tentatively), reality TV shows, (put the bad kids with the strict parents, etc - when will they take my idea for one of those shows, "Put the bad kids with the angry pitbulls"???) and fly on the wall documentaries ranging from following the police about at night to what happened next when the unassuming man being followed around by a camera crew turns out to be a feckless millionaire whose underpants cost more than you feed your family on for a week.
I pay an ever increasing TV license for 10% of decent viewing and 90% repeated crap.

I must agreeI'd rather have say 10 channels, showing decent quality, first run programmes, than 100 channels of shite.
Choice, my arse. Who wants choice when you have to choose among a bewildering array of bollocks?
And by doing it my way, we could have ten channels of good quality, high bitrate HD with nary a compression artefact to be seen.
Ofcom haven't offered me a job yet...

ExactlyI more-or-less predicted this happening when Sky started.
What good is choice if all you have to choose from is things that you have previously chosen.
And don't get me started on bloody 118118 etc.... That supposedly was to allow choice - now I haven't got a bloody clue which one to call when all I want is a telephone number.
