Their programming sounds very good but I'll never watch that channel as long as they continue to constantly display that solid, opaque, yellow logo at the bottom right side of the screen. I paid too much for my TV set to allow my CRT to be damaged by a phosphor burn.

Ditto, Rusty, I love their programming but can't watch that stupid golden rectangle, it drives me "buggy".
