It seems the shows are getting shorter and the commercials longer. We get about 40 min of what was probably orignally a 50 min. show. I understand needing to pay the bills, but maybe you could cut down on how many times you tout the military channel shows and say "you are watching the military channel". It gets rather monotonous and frustrating to watch anything.

Agreed! Agreed! Agreed!
I guess what happened is they planned on selling x minutes of commercials so only made enough program material to fill 60-x minutes...then the salesguys came up short and so they filled the time with house ads. House ads are basically POINTLESS - we are watching the channel ANYWAY! Show them on other channels!
Was that the story? But anyway, 18 minutes is WAY too much commercial time. I have left a decent program before the end because of the sheer pain of the commercials...so all the following commercials were never seen... so overloading becomes "self-defeating" or "diminishing returns."

Could they please,please stop advertising for the IONIC BREEZE? Obviously sharper image needs the advertising after consumer report sued them about there $400.00 machine that according to consumer report is a complete fraud. And if they want money from people's allergies invest in Claritin. sorry that one ran long.

Yes, that is why they offer you the DVD to buy or rent.

I agree! It's the only irritating thing I can see about this channel.
