Lack of Programs

I have Sky tv,which has many different channels. But i still often find myself flicking through the tv channels and finding that there is nothing on! Why is this?? Is it just that because we have more choice we are more fussy about what we want to watch? Is it just that there really isnt anything on? Or is it just that we all have our favourite programs and are just seeking to watch those specific ones and we feel let down when there is something else on?

Sky tv is not worth it sometimes. I got 76 channels and most of them on religion, foreign language shows, and useless asian channels. Only ten channels are worth watching, judging from our family's viewing habits: Maxx, Fox Crime, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, HBO, Star Movies, Cinema One, CNN, and National Geographic. The only reason we couldn't switch to global is when my dad found out there is no National Geographic there.

Ahh yeah i hate it when the one thing you want to watch you dont have the channel for! Sometimes i spend ages looking for something to watch and then see something remotly interesting and think to myself "ok I'll watch that" change it onto that channel, and i get a stupid message telling me i dont have that channel but i can subscribe to it for just £1 extra a month! That makes me mad!

hi. i don't have sky tv, but just recently my family upgraded from basic cable (26 channels) to 76 channels, and nope I still can't find anything on tv to watch on the weekends. i think i do seek out my favorite programs and am disappointed that there aren't more on the weekend. also, now that summer is almost here we have entered the season of repeats.

Yep, weekends and day time Tv in particular seem to be so terrible! There seems to me, to be a peak time when everything is on! And you have to try and watch everything in one go! Argh.... So stressful and annoying. When did Tv get so complicated?! Hehe Thank you for the post!
