£150 a year, for a channel that hardly puts out any quality programming. Fantastic.

Why should I pay a licence fee, when I don't even get all the BBC channels?

4 is the beast, usually the have good films. If it wasn't for filth like Big Brother they'd be acer than a spade, but alas.

4 have best films.
3 occasionally have good films, but then they put on 35 min news instead of showing last 20 mins of film.
5 is rubbish.

Irish Channels:
RTE One and Two are alright, as is TV3, only watch them for films.
TG4 is in Irish and therefore not watchable. Well, listenable.

Oh you're so wrong. 5 is one of the best channels.

CSI, The Shield, Law and Order, House, Alias

The only reason you probably dislike it is because you've seen everything on Sky beforehand. For people like me who only have terrestrial...its one of the best channels.

The only thing I watch religiously is The Shield, although that's on FX channel on cable.

I was watching the Snooker GP on Eurosport earlier, and the adverts got on my nips soooo much (rage.. building...)
As they do with the music channels. NO, I DON'T WANT A F***ING RINGTONE

Compared to that crap, uninterrupted BBC coverage is heaven.


They put adverts on so loud too, compared to the line volume of the programs, you have to turn the tv down when they come on.

I truely loathe them. I really do. The thing is, my flatmate had a £35/month package on the go before I moved in, and wants me to pay half of it. It's all complete s***. Every channel. And anything that would be worth watching is ruined by loud, offensive adverts, which come on every 10 minutes.

I'm surprised people can fool companies into advertising on music channels. They have to be one of the most flipped around set of channels available.

Not a song I like: *Changes*

No music/some garbage promotion/competition? *Changes to another music channel*

Adverts? **** no! *Changes*

Personally I put the music channels on when there's adverts on inbetween the program I'm watching - so why would I want to watch more adverts if I'm trying to get away from them?

The only people who should watch the ads are those who've paid for a track and are waiting for it to come on but then they're daft in the first place. :D
