Do you have a "Fox News blocker" on your tv at home?
I'm about ready to get one. I'm at the end of my rope with that station. It's no longer enough for me to just not watch it. I want to behave as if, and live in a world where Fox News does not exist.

For those of you that do have the device I'd like to know what your experience has been with it.

1. I don't need one
I've deleted Foxnews out of my channel line up so i never even surf across it. And that is free.

2. No. I just use the TV blocker as often as possible.
It's called a power switch. The less TV one watches, the freer and healthier one becomes. It's like quitting smoking.

4. It is blocked by "parental control" feature on my TV
My girlfriend got tired of my cursing and yelling at Faux news, so she blocked it last fall. Glad not to have to see/hear that crap!!

5. Do not need it. If I quickly pass by the station, my brain screams
involuntarily, "filth, lies, scum!'

7. Why not just reprogram your tv to skip over the channel?

8. No, but I don't want to watch it

9. TIVO lets me pick channels I receive and pick my favorites
As far as my TIVO knows...I do not even receive FOX NEWS. You cannot even see it on my program guide. Sweet.

Thank you TIVO.
