I'm suffering from repeats

Today, between 10am and 10pm, there were 27 repeats on the 5 terrestial chanels on tv. That didn't include old films and old news. I pay £135.50 a year for the BBC licence for programmes I neither watch nor have any interest in. I get more information and entertainment from my computer so the tv is switched off most evenings. As it is a 'service industry' and viewers are the paying customers, why don't we get the good service we deserve? Digital chanels are worse and we will all have to go digital soon and be force-fed repeats of repeats of repeats (ad infinitum.) What happened to customer service? I don't want 'tugging of forelocks, bowing, scraping and being called Madam.' All I want is value for my money and family entertainment like it used to be many years ago. Old films have plenty to offer compared to recent, megabucks movies. Modern movie 'stars' look tarnished, second-hand, second-rate and untrained unlike their former counterparts who exuded charm, style, polish and skill. Megabucks movies create megabucks lifestyles but without an education to match their outfits. Variety was the password for mainstream tv. A diet of sameness produces bland clones of what has gone before and mental stagnation. Variety should still be the spice of life. The next generation is growing up into colourless stereotypes before our eyes just like tv. programmes. People on low incomes can't afford Set Top Boxes, Subscriptions, Aerial Upgrades or to replace their analogue tvs. with digital tvs. Who will finance their costs to change to digital? What! Isn't anyone going to offer a helping hand to people living below the Poverty Level? When the world does, finally, go digital I won't be the only one suffering from repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats.
