One thing I ca’t stand about Dish T.V. is being stuck with ESPN.I find it to be as irritating as CNN,MSNBC and the rest of the alphabet networks.

I spent two hours at an Auto service shop and they had that crap running.It was pure torture.

I’m a guy who at one time like football,baseball and hockey.The prima donnas of today have killed any enjoyment of the game for me and the know it all talking heads who spew their crap for hours don’t help.

It’s not just that. It’s also the constant commercials. Then there’s the repeating commercials -sometimes the identical ones three times in a row. Repeated throughout the hour. With more commercial time than actual programming content.

Then there’s the inappropriate commercials, or the gay-themed ones that I am NOT interested in either viewing or attempting to figure out some way to deflect questions from younger family members about it.

That’s the really good thing about online viewing: you can eliminate or at the very least fast-forward past the commercials, and just enjoy the programme. The few times I have had to endure televisions being on in some waiting room or other -I have to agree with you: it was driving us bonkers!

Agreed. I stopped watching ESPN a few years ago. ESPN hiring Ray Lewis as a football analyst made me realize that my decision was a good one.

I feel your pain. I remember college, when the dorm lounge TVs would be set to ESPN, 24-7, with some half-passed out douchebags watching the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
