I agree that the logos are irritating as hell. Especially when a show returns from commercial, and for 15-30 seconds some huge obnoxious animated graphic is dancing on the screen telling me that some show I could care less about will be on that network next week. I look around for a mouse to close that "popup"... ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/mad.gif) Other stations tell you what's coming up next or what you're watching on the channel at random intervals. Oh yes, by all means distract my viewing to remind me what I am watching!! ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/mad.gif) The worst, by far, is "The New TNN." This network has some good programming sometimes, but their little logo thingy takes up an ENTIRE BAR at the bottom of the screen, with their logo, and "text-slides" of info on their dumb station, what program you are watching, what's up next, what's on tomorrow, etc. etc. Not to mention, the image is sqished vertically to accomodate for this thing, and it changes colors with every new message. WHY?!?! ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/mad.gif) Think I'll just go to the movies... Or maybe they'll stick a studio logo in the corner eventually, so you'll know that Brand-X studio's films are the best. ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif) It's time to put a stop to this nonsense. =TMP=

I dunno, fellas. It doesn't bother me all that much.To be honest, with so many gosh-darn channels, it's kind-of nice to be reminded of what channel I'm on. I'll tell you what I really, REALLY like... ...and you'll probably just HATE me for this one... ...when they flash up the name of the show that you're watching and, sometimes, a reminder of what's coming on later in the evening, or later in the week. I like those a lot. I think TNT makes a habit out of doing those. They're really handy because then I don't have to go to the TV Guide channel (or the internet) to figure out what the heck I'm watching at 2am.
