What's your default channel?

So what channel do you have on in between watching telly? Or when you want the TV on in the background as company but aren't actually watching anything specific?

My fave default is Animal Planet. It's the best company - espesh at the weekends. I often get dressed to it on Saturday and Sunday mornings and I also enjoy having it on between watching episodes of series.

If I'm binge watching a show and pause to make coffers or get vino, it's the purrfect thing to have on because it always delivers delight, endearing moments and lots of feeling.

If there's a repeat on Animal Planet or if they're airing a show starring people instead of creatures then I'll switch between eNews and SKY.  Of course when Big Brother's in town it's a firm favourite too.

E! used to be but it's been annoying me over the past two years so I only use it as a default very occasionally.

Howz about you?

Definitely Dicovery and C.I. I love the documentaries and forensic detective shows. I'm in to Gangland these days too

Why are there so many repeats on dstv though??? Are we really getting our money's worth? Everything gets repeated like 4-5 times. That's pretty disgusting for pay tv. Mnet, E, I'd, CI, BBC L whatever channel you watch, repeats repeats repeats. What are we paying for?????

In all honesty.. my default channel is One Gospel 331... Whenever i'm home alone, cooking cleaning, or whatever..i'd rather have it on than anything else. Also when I've to sleep alone, I go to bed with it on. I've tried playing abo MTV Channel O when alone at night...I just cant, I end up having nightmares.  

TLC and BBC Lifestyle also make my list...mara  331 is bauss for me. I can skip the whole primetime viewing for a song request programme that plays on that channel from 18:30 to 20:00. Serious.

Hence in my house we've decided Compact is the way to go. You pay almost R700 for premium and how much time, really do we spend watching TV?? 4 hours in the evening everyday... and mostly theres like...repeats, repeats, repeats.

Then theres that new channel Mzansi Wethu...simulcasting shows with Mzansi Magic... Beats me! coz they both available on same bouquets..
