I'm a tube-aholic as well, Peaches
But the only 'commercialed' stations I'll view are Discovery, TLC, History Channel, A&E and BBCA - For the most part I ONLY watch movie channels - the Starz Pack is the best thing to happen to cable in the last 10 years, IMHO
I just don't watch 'regular' network TV and got fed up with mtv when they stopped playing videos!
