    Anyone else just fed up with the constant 24 hour sh1te that's on telly?
    All that expense on HDTV, licence, subscriptions etc only to have constant celeb crap, x-tractor crap, buy a gaff somewhere crap, fat cnuts loosing weight crap, b-listers in jungles crap, non-real reality crap.
    TG4 is by far the best TV station, and that only after 10 o'clock.

    I bought a HDTV for my xbox and the movie channels?

    I also try not to watch tv 24 hours a day, maybe that's your problem.

    watch Zee TV its one of the best channels, all day they have really dodgy Indian dramas, with bad plots and even worse sound effects like the end of a scene they usually have this bird/eagle screeching! LOVE IT!

    No, I love it. Now if you don't mind I'm in the middle of a Two and a Half Men / Family Guy marathon.

    Watch more American TV. There's loads of quality from over there especially from the cable channels AMC, Showtime, HBO, FX etc.

    I watch a handful of programs & sport on tv. 95% percent of it is utter sh!te & repeats.

    Garbage tv = ghey australian series like home & away/gheybours with excrutiatingly sad over acted drama & teeneagers talking like little life weary cynics (kids don't fcuking talk like that). Soul destroying reality tv like falling on ice/ sing for money x factor & im a d-list celebrity who needs a career boost get me out of here seem to go down well with telly zombies.

    Neighbours
    Coronation street
    xfactor
    eastenders
    xfactor
    fair city
    xfactor
    xfactor
    emmerdale
    xfactor
    xfactor
    eastenders
    and on
    and on
    and on
    same
    sh!t
    every
    single
    week

    Was it the one where Jessica - despite her near-perfect record of assisted murder convictions - is told by the sheriff that her theory is 'highly unlikely'?
