Default Finally! Some common sense!

Seems someone has the right idea for a change!

Looks like "Quiz Call" will be taken off Freeview and replaced with a "proper" channel - thank fook for that, lets hope they start getting rid of the other pointless quiz channels aswell!

That said, I barely watch TV anyway, but it's the point

I'm with you on that

My set top box thing has 40+ channels, of which I deleted at least 20.

Basically only watch 1-5, E4, E4+1 and More 4... plus the odd few mins of History channel or TMF.

Rest of the Quiz or Home Shopping Channels are a waste of time IMHO.

Hurray - even channels 18 and 21 (the 2 music channels for me) used to show pop videos all night - now it's just phone-in quizzes. I'd rather have the pop videos

You still get the shitty quiz channels. Pay Ł1.50 to get a message telling you that you failed to get through

RIP OFF
