I'm big on channel surfing too. The process of searching through the nonsense is actually more important to me than anything I land on. I'd miss the Mets channel, several sporting events on TBS, college football, and randomly settling on the Discovery Network, History Channel, some old show that I'd forgotten about on the "Me Network", or suddenly finding Lynyrd Skynyrd doing the 15 minute version of Freebird :)

Yeah, that's what finally got to me. "I'm paying how much for TV and I STILL can't find a single thing worth watching?" At least now when that happens, I don't care. What I also eventually realized that the majority of my TV viewing was spent on the major networks anyway. There are very few TV shows I watch anymore, but I watch the news twice nightly and of course the late night talk shows. Football is about the only sport I watch anymore, and even that is half-hearted unless the Browns are on...which rarely happens. When the NFL wakes up and FINALLY offers streaming subscription by team, it will be a whole new ballgame. Those dance videos are hysterical. I think I'd run screaming from either, though. :)
