Ah yes - the "hook". If you watch commercials carefully, you will

Yes, the hook.. I will not have Vonage in my home or business because
of "the hook". Seriously, Mrs. JW would like to try it, but they spent
to many nights scaring me out of sleep and waking everyone in the
house with that Doo, doo......doo, doo, doo, song (I know it's on the
net, please don't bother posting a link for me, please). Anyway, they
ruined a lot of late night movies for me, I will not use them, period.
Would never use the poor quality for business anyway, but I won't even
use it for personal long distance, not gonna' happen.

--------------------------------------------

I can't stand the stupid "Head ON" commercials or whatever the product is
called. It's the one with the girl pictured with the narration, "Apply
directly to the forehead". The volume .... frequency or whatever is
blasted and the commercial is so damn irritating that I often click the TV
off completely.

We bought Head On for my daughter. She gets headaches all of the time
but doesn't have migraines. She puts some Head On across her forehead
and then she doesn't complain for an hour or tow.

Uh, that's a fairly serious symptom, especially in a youngster. I doubt
Head-On is the answer that is needed.

Thanks for your concern. We have been through all of the Dr.'s and tests
and they have shown nothing physical.

Yes, resulting in an MRI which showed nothing.

However, as long as we are on pet TV peeves, mine is the upcoming show
banners they put on.

They put these huge banners that cover the bottom left corner of the
screen and take out about 20% of the viewing surface and they last for
like ten seconds.

Annoys the crap out of me. History Channel is the worst offender with
Discovery close behind - my two favorite channels. I don't mind the
bug in the right hand corner, but those upcoming show banners really
**** me off. Recently, History changed their bug from a unobstrusive
semi-transparent logo to this really ugly red and yellow huge freakin'
H. Took a while to get used to it.


They used to call that 'branding'.

If you were forced to live in a confined area with Blurt day in & day out,
you'd have a headache too.
Just ask his wife!

Is there a device or TV that keeps volume level or at least
constrained? My kid is trying to watch a movie on FX and the volume
fluxuation is so severe that we can't even let my kid watch it as we
are trying to have phone conversations with clients in the next room.
One second it needs to be at volume level 45, the next 18-20 is
plenty.. This is rediculous, can't even watch the TV we pay 100 bucks
a month for.. Crap...

earphones. really.

How, pray tell, would earphones affect the broadcasted volume??
