  1. I hate this because my cable company doesn't carry TVGN. I cannot switch companies because my landlord won't allow a satellite dish. With all the channels available today I feel I was able to find a greater variety of entertainment back in the 1960's - and it was all free!

  7. I enjoyed the INFANITY special especially the first several minutes where we saw glimpses of classic clips (Lance & Lorie, Lauren & Paul, etc).

  9. My wife wants to thank you so much for your move to TVGN. Now she can no longer watch Y&R because Time Warner cable doesn't offer that channel.

  10. Well, this sucks... My cable provider doesn't carry this channel. Matter of fact, I'd never heard of this channel until the switch. So thanks a lot!
