The HD Channels That Have Continuous Commercials During Broadcast

TNT-HD and Universal HD are prime culprits- correct me if wrong. Few of the others have the number of commercials these two have. It is insane since you already have paid for the channel as a subscriber. Now you pay twice. This IS the biggest bunch of CRAP. You know it , they know it- Put up with it , you weak, emasculated puppy. Oh, I forgot you are nuetered as well. Well, sometimes a Steer can yell, how about a puppy dog?

I don't find many commercials on UHD at all -- of course the only thing that I really watch is movies on that channel, and they always show their movies uncut.


I suspect that if you're watching repurposed network programming (Monk? Battlestar Galactica? Knight Rider? etc), you'll get exactly the same amount of commercials that the program had in its original broadcast -- they shoot ~42 minutes of programming for an hour show, so they have to do something with the leftover 18 minutes in the hour!
seems like they run the whole ep, with commercials at the end kinda like Discovery, and other times with just a few breaks.

How much are their subscriptions per month? If you're a "subscriber" to TNT-HD or Universal HD someone really does have you bent over ;).

OK, here's the difference: when UHD airs a movie it's shown without commercial interruption and, from what I've seen, unedited. That to me is HUGE! And when UHD does air commercials they're not stretched like TNT-HD. IMO, TNT-HD is the bottom feeder of HD channels at this point in time.
