Default Selective tuning
Yeah. I'm a selective-tuner.

I have TiVo. I record the shows I want, Law&Orders, CSI/NY(not Miami), a few other shows... and happily fast forward through the commercials.

But I usually have the set on for background noise, unless the stereo is on.

The set is seemingly always turned to C-SPAN (1,2 or 3). I love politics and C-SPAN has cameras at events, without 'talking head commentators' and without commercials.

With the background noise, I can read a book, magazine...
