1. I just delete the channel from my TV memory.

:)

2. I did that last year... I refuse to let my children watch pornography.

3. Deleted from memory - for all time.

I have enough entertainment programing thank you very much.

4. I placed parental controls on ALL Fox channels on my cable

along with CNN, BS-RNC and the TV Preachers too!

5. LOL, TV Preachers too!

8. Smart move.

Cable news stupedia and swindling preachers have no place in a proper home.

6. Does anyone want to take a stab at how this thing works?

I know there are filters that can block certain channels, but Faux is on many different channels around the country. How does the filter know which channel to block?

10. You tell them the channel number that you want blocked

during the ordering phase.

*Note: FOXBlocker is available for VHF channels 2-13 and UHF channels 14-62. Unfortunately, FOXBlocker doesn't work on digital cable.

11. Well that's disappointing

I was hoping the unit detected the pure evil that eminates from that channel.

12. I ordered one this morning. You specify which channel you want blocked

My feeling is it's a stronger message to the advertisers when a device is actually purchased and installed - that we will not be watching FOX. They will also update you if the "get sued or some other interesting things happen."

Heres the info from their site:
Purchasing a FOX Blocker and telling the advertisers at FOX News why you did it will encourage advertisers spending their money somewhere else.

If we band together and tell the advertisers to shut the FOX up, we can help limit the scope, or at least the profitability of FOX News.

FOXBlocker is an innovative new product that filters out the FOX News network. Simply screw the filter into the back of your TV and never be exposed to right wing propaganda again (at least through FOX News). Using a proprietary technology, the FOXBlocker works to filter out FOX News from your cable lineup.

With every order placed, FOXBlocker.com will send an e-mail in your name to the TOP 10 advertisers at FOX News letting them know that yet another subscriber has opted out of FOX News. With a little luck and a lot of volume, we can shut the FOX up!

7. I've got a question.

What's to prevent me from just notifying the advertisers that I've installed this device, but just not buying it or ever watching FOX?

I'm not trying to put down the makers of this item. It's a great idea, but I don't have any kids here, and I know my husband & I will never watch that network.

Living in Ga., I doubt it would make a big difference even if I did buy the blocker, but what would prevent me from just lying?

9. Imagine, just for a moment, secretly

installing this thing (if it's real) on your least favorite repug relative's TV! :evilgrin:

13. Did you read the hate mail

at their site? It was hilarious! The freeps were insinuating that CNN, MSNBC, etc. were liberal. That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. Imagine how shocked America would be if they woke up one morning and the media really WAS liberal! They have no idea.....
