I've been round my girlfriend's place for a few days now and have experienced the delights of digital television.
And I swear I could hear Roger Waters singing "got 15 channels of s##t on the tv to choose from".
Not a massive fan of terrestial, but thought "Well maybe it's the lack of choice" and decided to indulge myself for 3hrs.
Kerrang TV
They appear to have 4 videos in rotation. These are "Whatever" by Dorksnorkel Nerdlinger (but he's cool nerdy!), Disturbed "Not wearing S&M gear no way, we're hetero. Honest", "Mum it's just porn" by whothehellknows and Tenacious D "Tribute".
Ok Jack, we get it. It's a comedy band with amusing lyrics. Stop now please, The Barron Knights did this ages ago. Why only these videos? I flicked back and yup, those same videos. I even phoned for a Red Hot Chilli Peppers one, and it didnt come up in the 3hr test time. But every time I flicked back, there's that fat bald bloke and Jack Black hilariously taking off Led Zeppelin.
Movie channels.
I actually saw "Mean Machine" with Burt Reynolds last night. Every other one has John Cusack being romantic, Gary Oldman being Gary Oldman and Sandra Bullock wondering where her career went.
Film Four is excellent though.
Except I've got those on DVD so a bit pointless really.
402849 shopping channels.
I actually saw something called "Nads" being advertised. I dont know what Nads was, I was too busy trying to pull my eyes out. It's an Australian thing with loads of bronzed Aussies smiling and probably eating shrimp.
Nads.
A channel selling Nads.
Speaks for itself really.
Sport
Dont watch sport, because sport is for keeping fit. Not watching on television. It's like having televised jogging...nooo, that's called The Marathon.
You watch people jogging. Without irony.
Discovery Channel
This is actually good. Documentaries about animals, and Steve Irwin being enthusiastic and mental. You watch to see him annoy deadly animals but will learn something as well. School should have been like this, mix death with education and kids will watch. Have algebra at gunpoint and it would maybe have stuck? Nope, because it's useless.
UK Gold
'Allo 'Allo, Last of The Summer Wine and some other crap from 1974.
Old people probably watch this as they await the raspy knock from Death on the door.

Digital tv seems to provide even more ways to get fat and stupid.
Hurrah for 21st century entertainment.
I'm off to play with my orange and a stick I got for Xmas.

Everyone will be watching each other watching someone on TV. Sounds about right.
Anyways Mean Machine is a classic film and I particulalry enjoyed "Jaws" crying like a baby when the bald headed nutter broke his nose...

I'm looking forward to when we all have cameras in our homes, so you can turn on the tv and find out what everyone else is doing in their own homes.
And I bet you anything, it'll be watching someone else's life on tv.

Mark Kermode is annoying.... but the Filmfour channels do rule, along with the cinema channels sometimes. The premier channels just so recent films, and not even good ones. The music channels are serious rubbish, all as their mainly viewer selected or poppy crap.
Next it'll be Super Digital, with twice the amount of channels.

Sky's movie channels, with the exception of Sky cinema 1 and 2, generally suck balls unless you want 90 minutes of no brainer entertainment. Occasionally they show the odd good film, but these moments are few and far between.
If you want regularly good films then subscribe to Filmfour, because it rocks. For about £5.99 a month you get Filmfour, which averages at least 3 great films a week, filmfour +1, which shows the same things as filmfour only an hour later (surprisingly useful), filmfour World which shows foreign films at odd times, and the brilliant filmfour Extreme, which is Mark Kermode's personal domain. The first channel usually has good stuff on, but it depends on what any month's given theme is, in the American Mavericks season I saw a great film every night for a month, in the new Hollywood season I've only watched about three films, one of which was bottlerocket by Wes Anderson, unavailable on VHS or DVD in England, and better than Tenebaums and Rushmore.
Filmfour Extreme is fantastic. It shows really controversial movies uncut with a five minute preface by Mark Kermode telling you why they're so shocking and usually why the Exorcist is better. The last thing I watched on it was Pasolini's 120 Days of Sodom which I managed to watch half of before giving up. It did prove though that they are prepared to show anything no matter how notorious.
Anyway, it's worth the money so subscribe.
