But i paid over a hundred pounds for my television
Then i am forced to pay 拢136 television licence
and work hard all week
Dont people like me deserve decent quality programmes??
I know everyone has different tastes but im not sure that these tv companies have properly done their research to eleminate the programmes that make you want to kill yourself just to get away from the dullness of it.
Lets start a campaign againt crap tv people, who's with me??|||I'm with you
however...
I rarely watch TV for the reasons you so eloquently delineated here
I'd rather read, play on the puter, or play with my family
I do not pay for satellite
huge waste of money, IMHO|||Sorry I live in Indiana, our votes don't count. We not voted yet and already got a republican elect and down to 2 democrats. So unfair.

|||I am with you there it's either reality shows or soap operas not to mention makeover programmes take away them and that doesn't leave much to watch.|||I agree, there are no channels which caters to my taste (science documentary and porn)
add my name to the list|||I take it you're in the UK. Well, it's the same here in California. My husband and I both marvel at how lame it is on TV. I think part of the problem is we don't like reality TV, and that's half of what's on now. Good for you to find two hours of good programming ... I'd consider that a good day.|||I'm with you! I have cable TV and it is just ridiculous how many repeats they put on! Lets all ditch TV and spend our time on Yahoo Answers instead!!|||I'm in.|||Me too. I say we form our own channel. It can be terrestrial channel 82.5 and it can be clled NonCrapTv|||TV really is bad any more, they make these reality shows very cheap and its going to come back and bite them for they have no after market {reruns} and the high cost is we are paying for cable, or satellite is to subsidize sports and there high pay even if you don't watch sports.|||i have to say i applaud you for taking a stand against so-called cheap and crap telly shown in britain. tv companies lack creativity and originality nowadays. its all reality tv, soaps, pointless late night quizzes, garbage british sitcoms, its total trash! considering how much people pay for the tv licence, its not just scandalous but a complete rip-off and a disgrace. although i must say, i haven't watched tv for 2 months, preferring to be here on answers instead. besides, there are plenty of other things to do rather than being glued to the tv set and watching nothing but utter cack. but yes, i for one, have got your back!|||You got my vote!!!|||I've got sky tv.
Still rubbish and nothing to watch.
And i've got to watch a quater of an hour of adverts evry hour.
I must be a muppet.
I'm with you.|||I suppose all the while people like us actually buy the tvs, and pay the license fee the tv companies will continue to ply us with the same rubbish by virtue of us giving them the impression we like the stuff they broadcast. Maybe we should stop buying the tvs, spend useful time on Yahoo answers, and just being sociable instead? Get a bottle of wine, call some friends round and smile. Lots better than wanting to kill yourself because of dull tv!
Oh yes, you have my vote!|||I am for sure|||me me me me!!!|||What an excellent question!
I came to the conclusion long ago that there is only a fixed amount of good quality TV around. The only effect of having a huge number of channels is to make the good stuff very hard to find.
People complain about TV. What they should be complaining about (and loudly) is BAD TV. Good TV is excellent - a cinema, a theatre, a school and a library in your living room.
Incidentally, as a corollory to your question; one of the reasons that you pay GBP136 for your licence is that the BBC is a hugely wasteful organisation. Another campaign here....?!|||the only quality channels are the discovery channel and national geographic.
i liked uk gold when it originally started because the programmes were all from years ago and liked to wallow in nostalgia.
nowadays since they scrapped the rule about no programme being less than 2 years old , you find that as soon as terrestrial have finished airing a programme it turns up on this channel sometimes within weeks. just another excuse to air constant repeats in my opinion.
so count me in 100%|||oh god stop moaning will ya.....|||It is abundantly obvious that a great many people agree that the T.V. channels deliver utter rubbish to us most of the time. If we think this, surely the owners and their families must think the same, so why do they do it? I cannot believe that we see the best talent in our country,or the best material.
One of the reasons I spend so much time on this site, is because the entertainment is better than the television.|||I'm with you ALL THE WAY! I hardly ever watch tv now, probably less hours than you. It's all a load of rubbish. We even get repeats of quiz shows like the Weakest Link, and repeats of repeats of repeats for goodness sake. The news is the same week on week (Iraq and global warming). We ought to have pay as you view. Got to be cheaper. How do we start a campaign though, that's the point.|||I agree with you, i had decided to finish with having cable today because of all the rubbish thats on. Its cheaper to be on here, and thats what i'm going to do.|||Me! It's better to have a radio and a computer instead, as both media purvey better programs. You can then use your telly to watch videos/DVDs only.|||I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY, TROUBLE IS THERE MUST BE VIEWERS WATCHING THIS STUFF AND SOME STUPID IDIOTS WHEN ASKED SAID THEY'D BE PREPARED TO PAY MORE FOR THE LICENCE FEE, MUST HAVE MORE MONEY THAN SENSE OR THEY ARE WEALTHY, UTTER TRIPE ON THE TELEVISION THESE DAYS!!!!|||The most annoying thing is that 75% of programmes on sky are a repeat. We seem to pay more and more to watch the same bloody programmes again and again. If I worked it out most of the channels I watch in a day are on freeview I pay 拢40 a month for the chance to watch about 3 exclusive programmes! What a ******* liberty!!!!!! ( Catherine Tate show, Ive watched the same series 10 times in the last 6 months!!!!)|||I AM WITH YOU 100%|||me all the way!!!!!!!!!
dumbing down of tv has gone too far - it's just the same programme in 6 different formats!!! ie big brother, i'm a celeb....
and don't even get me started on deal or no deal!
what do you want to do??|||Lol and here I am deciding whether to buy a freeview PVR with hard drive, when there is nothing to record anyway!!!|||I agree with you and when there is something you want to watch it is always at the same time as something else you want to watch! can't the TV companies try to break there most popular programs up instead of sticking them on at the same time!|||I have Direct TV...it SUCKS!!!! same old crap all the time. Hey...try being up all night and watching TV. Just about everything....is PAID PROGRAMMING. (paid advertising)
JUNK....CRAP...BUY..BUY..BUY. I was laid up for awhile and watched TV a lot. during the day I watched TV in the morning...in the afternoon...same programs...in the evening..same damn thing!! Play the same friggin movies over and over again. I won't pay extra for HBO and movie channels cause it's the same with them. I think the same idiots who do the programming for the satellite channels are the related to the idiots who are producing the crap we see on TV/cable/satellite now.|||huih|||i agree totally we got a tv license for a flat we moved into only to find out our aerial was buggered so we have to use a portable Aeriel which hardly picks up any pictures and even when it does all tv is bad nowadays saturday telly isnt interesting anymore and im sick and tired of watching old peoples programs all the time like countdown bargain hunt etc... i eman only bbc charges the license yet i havent watched bbc in like 2 years so why do i have to pay for their drivel!!!!!!!!!!!!
GGARRRRRRRRRRRRRHH!!!
telvision is crap why should we have to pay a licnse to own a televsion that we bought to watch 2 channels that charge simply because they dont have adverts.. why cant the bbc just have adverts and ditch the reto license crap... MONEY HOGGING SWINES!|||I am with you. I am tired of thsi cable channels that all they offer is realuty shows an the exact same shows over and over again. I want quality tv. And I want it NOW.
