    Does anybody ever watch the Quiz Channels on Digital TV.

    They do these stupid games, how many diamonds, how many reds, add the numbers etc etc.

    Now even after seeing the solutions to these quizzes i still have no idea where th answer came from. Anyone else seen these before. Examples - Quiz TV, The Great Big British Quiz etc.

    i saw an episode of Watchdog recently where they said the industry regulator was going to do an in vestigation into them.

    Also just read aload of interesting posts on the digitalspy forums with various angry people talking about them.

    Where are they getting the answers from is right!?!?

    The last time i saw one of them shows, they asked you to add some simple numbers on the screen... something like 111, 1, 77, 34.
    People called in but nobody got it. When they finally gave out the answer it was something like 1798! :confused:

    Do they just use a random number generator to come up the answers?

    Hate those things!

    I think those shows are hilarious. Theyre so fixed it's funny. They have some rule that if no one phones within ten seconds the quiz will end - BUT SOMEONE ALWAYS PHONES IN THE LAST 1 SECOND! Id say the quizes are just random with no actual answer. The ultimate scam for people with more money than sense.
