Advertising taking a quarter of the screen during show

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I've got a good Idea. Just plaster advertising all over the screen during a show. We can pretend it's the old days of just radio.

I agree with you 100%, I just sent them a complaint about them placing the AGT show telemarking ad. Of course like all the networks they put their telemarketing ads (any thing not specifically part of the show or movie) on screen during programming we PAY to view and ignore the complaints.

I've have written to many of them about this.

Most all networks do not know the meaning of the words courtesy or consideration and have zero respect for us their paying viewers. Only way to fix it would be bury them in complain emails and phone calls, non- stop by the thousands and when comes to Neilson ratings state no tv watched so networks lose advertising $$.

Way, way, way, way too many commercials and not enough interesting content.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I selected to watch a movie. When I tuned in, there was a commercial.

When that ended, another commercial and then another and another and another.

After FOURTEEN commercials I changed to another, more interesting option. I hope SYFY network goes broke!!!

HORRIBLE!

Has not been good in 20 years. Used to be good until they started the moron wwf stuff, stupid face make up shows, and all other horrible crap like that. All it is now is half Harry Potter movies and half pure CRAP.

Same with all the networks, raise prices cheapen quality and choice. Then along with that big networks buy out smaller ones and force those to air the big networks shows thus decreasing selection of shows even more. I wonder if the objective is to drive away as many viewers as possible from cable to their pay for streaming service.

So sick of the commercial channel

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It should be called the commercial channel rather than the sci-fi channel. Its two minutes of movie and 30 minutes of commercials so sick

Time to change it from commercial to what it actually is telemarking. Telephone telemarking, Television telemarking. I can almost deal with the over long telemarking during commercial breaks what I cannot tolerate and since I pay to view should not have to tolerate is the telemarking placed on screen while actual show or movie is airing.

On demand torture

If you watch a movie on demand on your channel it starts off with a few commercials. As you keep watching the they get longer with only one commercial.

The more you know commercials play every commercial break from now on about a dozen times. The theme song plays over and over for for that amount of time.

Playing the same song over and over again is a form of torture, its a proven fact. What are you torturing your customers, we pay for your service, what is wrong with you?

View full review

Preferred solution: End the repetitive commercial and song that is literal torture

User's recommendation: Skip on demand

Strong emotional reponse

TOO MANY COMERCIALS. Movies are unwatchable due to constant long interuptions of commercials. Unbearable headaches have started from even trying to watch this programming.

I like your channel, but I'm very disappointed that you would broadcast a back to back SLASHER movies on CHRISTMAS DAY. What the *** is wrong with you people?

I think it's absolutely ABSURD and IMMORAL that you would show back to back SLASHER movies on CHRISTMAS DAY. There are plenty of Scyfy movies you could show that don't involve slashing and mutilation. What the *** is wrong with you?

I'm tired of all the Harry Potter movies on every day, all day.

Guest

Thank you!!!!

Guest

They show movies that are neither sci fi nor horror and don't belong on that channel. As I just saw a poster voicing the same thing: they show the same 10 movies (or franchises) all the time.

Did this channel used to be better? It seems like it was.

Guest

Agreed. I'm sick of Harry Potter movies! This is getting old!

You should check out Comet TV. Its better than this one!

Horrible programming.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It's not really a sci-fi channel any longer. Lots of non sci-fi programming.

Many, many repeat programming, for instance how many times can you air Harry Potter? It's laughable! Every friggin weekend they air HP add nausium!.

Enough already. Just rename the channel "Rarely Sci-Fi".

This channel shows the same movies over and over again daily

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Do I need to watch the the mummy series constantly, no I do not. I just don't watch the channel at all.

Not sure if they know Halloween is in two weeks, and Chucky, come on. There are so many more movies out there, so good luck syfy channel, someone should be fired.
