Do you know, back in the late 80s, I had four channels to watch, and on some occassions, I could find nothing I wanted to watch on any of them. Now, having Cable (although the same applies to Sky, according to friends), I have over 100 channels. Still get times when there is nothing on I want to watch.

Another way to look at it is this: How many of those 59 channels would actually carry anything you want to watch. As I said, I have access to over a 100, and watch mainly the terrestrial channels, and watch Sky 1, Living, E/More 4 and Scifi. What I am saying is that it's all very well boasting of how many channels they are going to offer, but how many are likely to be interesting?
