That's not bad at all, at least when compared to
standard TV
nowadays. It's a constant stream of advertising lightly peppered with a
little bit of program material, the vast majority of which is drek.

Broadcast TV has always had crap from day one, and had commercials as far
back as I can remember. Even with all the crud there are a few shows worth
watching, more if you are into sports. I am not into sports but it is fun
watching a football game once in a while on a 32" HDTV at 1080i in my room.
With the large directional rooftop antenna (got it a few years back mostly
to get radio channels I like) I get more channels (perfect reception) now
then before the digital switch (one of which is a local FOX channel).
Still I don't watch TV like I used to, and most of it is on satellite (HBO
and Comedy Central).
I remember being the first kid on the block to get cable and the movie
channel back in 1977, I guess network TV was not that great even back then
so we paid extra for cable.
