What's the point of having 800 channels?

Question

When 78 of them are wirthless garbage you'd never wtach?

Answer 1

800 channels, wow. Movies, classes on everything from
building a house to learning to speak a different language!
The world at your finger tips, National Geographic,
and you're asking what is the point? Because it's simply
fabulous!

Answer 2

Because you might catch a glimpse of their commercials as you flip by and buy some of their crap.

Or

Your 78 channels of worthless garbage aren't the same as my 78 channels of worthless garbage so they are catering to the world.

Ya think?

Answer 3

The point is so a person will not miss anything that there is to watch. By the time you find something to watch then most times it will be going off. You can have most of them turned off because that is what we do. We don't use that many of the channels so they are off. Television can be addicting to some people.

Answer 4

You would be surprised. Some people even watch infomercials. I turned one off when I was in a doctors office and the lady waiting there with me became offended that I had turned the TV off. I said I didn't have the remote and didn't want to watch that infomercial. She said I should have thought to ask for the remote because she couldn't do without watching something while waiting. The masses out there do include people who waste their time watching whatever is on.

Answer 5

wow. thats alot of channels. i bet it would be hard to pick one movie. all thoise channels theres bound to be two or three shows on at the same time that youd want to see. guess for those people who love to channell surf - then they have it made.

Answer 6

So you will spend that much more time flipping though the channels. That is a lot of channels.

Answer 7

To give you 722 channels of things that may be interesting to counteract those worthless ones........
