What channels have you blocked?
I just blocked

- Faux News and Faux Bidness
- ALL Religious channels. That includes GodTV, CBN, BYU and about five others (why are there so many of these?)

I don't want MY kids watching that crap!

4. Me too... the whole religious block of channels
plus FoxNews and FoxBidness, and also all the Spanish lanquage channels.

Also the shopping channels (theres like 30 on DirecTV), because I don't want to see them when I flip through the guide.

8. The religious channels, the shopping channels,
the local access(who needs it, gossips all over town will tell me)
RFD channel (channel just for farmers and ranchers, lots of Hee Haw reruns)
hunting and fishing channels
all sports channels

Da man, on the other hand, would love to see the oxygen and lifetime channels fall off the face of the earth ha.

9. Technically all of them.
I dropped Comca$t's ridiculously overpriced TV several months ago (Though I'm stuck with their ridiculously priced internet, due to lack of any alternative).

My TV picks up the local channels, I watch MSNBC on the net, and the few "prime time" TV programs that are worth watching can be seen online by one means or another.

My boys are all good progressive liberals, every last one. Wouldn't watch Fox if the news on that crap channel was read by nekkid ladies. OK, well, maybe then, but they'd mute the volume. :)
