I have a slightly related complaint. Mine is about football on Fox broadcast TV. Unlike the other networks that seem to just occasionally put a strip on the bottom of the screen with scores of other games, Fox has this going constantly, and it is always scrolling all kinds of details about the other games (ball position, player stats, etc.) that repeats over and over again. I got tired of my eyes following the motion only to read the same item I already saw five times. Since I watch the games with a projector, I found I can put a six-foot piece of 2x4 on the cabinet below the screen and adjust the video centering downward a bit, and just block the whole stupid scrolling line entirely. Much nicer now-just the game I am watching without the constant distraction.
