Interesting service for car dealers... a satellite TV channel that will only feature ads for that dealer's brand, even the dealer's own ads, plus 'prime time' type shows shown during the day.

I wasn't able to download the video efficiently, and so can't comment directly on it, but the general idea of a radio or TV station that does nothing but insult one's intelligence with round-the-clock with car-dealer ads, I think, would outdo even the DNC.

We've had this in NYC for years.. Time Warner Cable customers have an on Demand channel called Driver TV. I tune in every weekend to see the latest.. Welcome aboard

Customers of Time Warner Cable's digital TV service will see advertisements promoting a suite of VOD channels. These VOD channels include DriverTV, Movie Trailers On Demand and ExpoTV. Viewers will have the ability to press a button on their remote control to automatically tune to these VOD environments.

DriverTV is an on-demand automotive catalog that delivers a showroom experience to viewers through videos that showcase vehicles from a number of auto manufacturers. DriverTV launched earlier this year on Time Warner Cable's New York City systems. The GM Showroom is featured within this On Demand channel. http://www.timewarner.com/corp/newsr...559269,00.html

No this isn't a 'general' channel, it's PER DEALER. It's a tailored channel so a Lexus dealer doesn't have Infiniti commercials running for example.
