It isn't, trust me. There's a lot of good stuff out there. There's a far greater amount of garbage, unfortunately.
Some of the news services, the science and indie film channels, etc, are interesting to me. Most of the network stuff is marketing/ advertising pap ... what isn't I can get through NetFlix as I mentioned previously.
The TiVo, DVR, etc equipment costs, the services that make them useful mean a payment every month. Basic service costs about $50/month ... my service is about $75 a month, or $900 a year. That means, to me, that I have to ask myself ... is the additional stuff on the tube worth the cost of a new K20D body plus a lens every year? Plus one or two Limited lenses the first year? That I'd pay for it? Answer for me is no. I don't have the time or inclination to sit in front of a television very often. And I shut it off when the advertising is annoying.
