800 channels and all the television Pentecostals can present for programming is three channels? These people who bring up these three channels are honest people, because they know the rest of the programming on television is garbage. The Internet on the other hand has tons of great information. NOT the same for the TELEVISION. Sorry white-hot-light inspection has proven that pound for pound Television ends up with the Big Fat Brooklyn ZERO!

History Channel has great religious programming at times concerning History..

Discovery is Great for Sharks/Fishing Crab/ among other things..

Animal Planet has great programming...

EVERY CHANNEL & SHOW YOU DON"T WANT YOUR KIDS OR YOU TO SEE CAN BE BLOCKED!!

CONTROL IS THE KEY TO MODERATION!!

If a person or persons can't control it... get off... or shut off..

...

and oh yeah.. The Internet is a Safe Haven for Information.. Not addictive nor provocative at all...

Want my two cents? Here they are anyway!

There's some good stuff on TV and some bad stuff. Some who own and watch TV are able to avoid the bad. Let them! Some can't or don't want to go to the trouble, so they don't own or watch TV. Let them!

There's some good stuff on the internet and some bad stuff. Some who use the internet are able to avoid the bad. Let them! Some can't or don't want to go to the trouble, so they don't use the internet. Let them!

Everyone's definition of "bad" is different. So what? The ratio of good:bad on TV and the ratio on the internet may be different. Some may think it's 0.0001% for TV and 20% for the internet. So what? Everyone can decide for themselves.

Gasp! What did I just say? Everyone decide for themselves? Sorry. I forgot this was an Apostolic forum, for a second.

I don't watch AP or Disney. I do watch History, Discovery, FOXNews, CNN, MSNBC, Travel Channel, ESPN & ESPN 2, The Learning Channel, FSN, a local station that broadcasts our baseball team, like watching C-SPAN 1 & 2 in the mornings to see what the House and Senate are up to, TBS, WGN has AFV (America's Funniest Videos), TV Land is fun to watch programs from long ago. My family likes HGTV which is mostly information on homes and gardens. Sometimes I turn on CourtTV or TNT. I rarely watch anything on Mtv, VH-1, Mtv 2, BET or CMT . . . just not into music videos.

Obviously either you've never turned on the television, or you're blatantly overstating fact. 800 channels?! Do you really believe the average person has 800 channels? C'mon, be honest for once in posting actual information instead of blatantly biased and overly hyped up inaccurate statements.

800 Channels? Here's a list of channels available in my area from Cox Communications - the largest cable company here.

If you were to get EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL AVAILABLE . . . including buy all the Pay-Per-View . . . you still only end up with 280 channels.

That includes:
25 BASIC Channels
45 EXPANDED Channels
68 DIGITAL Channels (of which, 45 are music channels)
73 DIGITAL Tier-Package Channels (sports package, latino package, etc)
33 PREMIUM Channels (HBO, Starz, etc)
21 HD Channels
15 PPV Channels

Most people I know only get the Basic+Extended package, since the Digital doesn't include much more and has 45 useless music channels.

Of the Basic - 10 are information channels (C-SPAN 1 & 2, TV Guide, HSN, public access, education access, etc) ; 6 are broadcast news/entertainment channels (cbs, nbc, abc, fox, wgn, and a local n/e station); 2 are latino channels; 1 is a religious channel; 4 are entertainment channels; 1 is government access; and another is a local leased channel (usually all-day paid programming).

Sorry to burst your bubble, EB, but the white-hot light of scrutiny shows that your "800 channels" is wayyy off the mark. Which should be a reminder to myself and others to check what your posts say, investigate the facts and not take them at face-value.

Now we'll agree the Internet is much larger than television, and therefore the pure volume alone will hold more information than television. However, I'm sure if a study was to be done, you'd find the ratio of information vs entertainment is similar, if not more than television. And you'd definitely find more junk and filth on the internet than you'd ever find on television.
