I read the scroll, also.

I've got a thin strip of cardboard taped to the bottom of my TV so I won't have to read the scroll. The scroll drives me insane. As do all the pop-ups on the screen. Can they possibly screw up the viewing area with any more junk than is already there?

re scroll and other tv things. . .anyone else experience this?

The same thing happens to me, reading scroll as it does 'catching' a commercial. . .i walk in and catch the commercial at the 'same spot' I did earlier. . .can go a whole day or several. . .and only see from the 'same starting point'.

When I look down to read scroll. . .I see the same half or ending point of message. . .over and over; as I watch the news or programing.

Now THAT. .drives me crazy.

More times than not. . .if I 'start' a program say midway. . .like maybe I have missed all but the last 20 minutes of a show. . .the next time it comes around; I have missed the same 20 minutes. . .happens often with TV movies as well. . .keep missing the same parts. . .

(gives new possbilities - if only irrelevant - to that 'wisdom': what goes aroud, comes around. ;^))

Or is this some kind of variation of 'attention deficit disorder'. .. or worse?
