    Default so many channels, so little time

    You know, some years ago we had Foxtel for a while and it ended up with us catching a channel surfing syndrome. We got to a point in a show where it wasn't grabbing us or we thought there might be something better on so we'd flick and eventually reached a stage where we weren't settling to watch anything through (except this old house) and I don't think this was because everything was crap. Once we got rid of Foxtel and had only a limited choice of free to air, we found that we were watching shows right through and they were actually interesting. Um where am I going with this...? I guess the moral of the story is that if you have Foxtel you just have 6 times the number of crap channels as without it... no that's not it, well it is true, but tha't not my point. On the forums, there is so much interesting stuff, and I hardly had the time to read half of it, now there are so many more forums with possibly interesting stuff! So how do you guys read it all and post without spending half the day on here?? I feel spread so thin, like butter spread over too much toast! Is that it, I'm just getting old???

    Cheers
    Michael

    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    What about internet TV, it's coming too.

    I'm hoping to watch the Americas Cup race later tonight.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I used to watch Foxtel at my sons place for one or two nights in every six weeks. After a few years I became sick of seeing the same stuff repeated over and over. A lot of intersting stuff to see, but as I only watched it once in a while, I used to wonder about the family watching it every night.

    Sure enough, they've disconnected as well.
