What aggravates me (or would if I didn't have the DirecTV package) is how CBS goes to another game, but just *gotta* get in a series of commercials first. Then they go to the other game and it's time for a media timeout. MORE commercials.

At least with the DirecTV package, I can watch the other game instead of watching the commercials once a game ends. Of course, there are other annoyances -- I have to watch one of the games on my local CBS station, which does "live look-ins" and will break away from the game I'm watching. Happened during the Wisconsin game yesterday. I'm in Wisconsin and was forced to watch the end of ANOTHER game I could simply tune to (the games are on 702-705) if I wanted to. In order to watch Wisconsin during these live lookins, I have to tune to the mix channel, which shows 4 screens in one. Those here without the package have to listen on the radio or wait till they come back.
