What the hell is it with Cable?

Okay - so I am trying to hang out with the wife and watch Accepted, and the "Required Weekly Test" of the EMS system interrupts us FOUR times! Considering cable is supposed to be digital, and on top of things, you would think that they would know how to run their own system.

But hey! Let's go beyond that. On the extended cable package you get about 100 usable channels short of the movie sections. Of those channels, 27 of them are paid programming throughout most of the night. This is beyond the fact that there is really only 40 minutes to an hour television program because the rest is used for commercials. So - tell me what I am paying for? The right to get MORE commercials and paid programming?
