Trivial things that annoy you about TV

The fact that TWO valuable HD slots on Freeview have been given over to QVC HD and QVC + 1 HD.
It's bad enough that these channels exist at all and are proliferating but why the hell do they need to be in HD?!

According to the Freeview website, it's at Channel 111 (although it's only available between 1am and 1pm).
4seven is on my freeview ch111 not QVC+1. I think it depends on the area whether you can receive it or not.
Actors and actresses who leave one soap opera only to pop up in a different soap a few years later. Gaynor Faye, Michelle Collins, Hayley Tammadon and Claire King to name but four.
On the news, when they artificially add the sound of a helicopter to footage filmed from a helicopter. Why? There's no need.

x factor should be scrapped. I hate it
Male tv presenters who insist on sitting with one ankle resting over the knee of the other leg.....it screams "I'm such an alpha male, me" 
Far too many freak shows about people with Autism, OCD, Tourettes, living with 30 cats and living in filthy houses, people addicted to tattoos, Etc.
These people are a miniscule percentage of the populace, but C4 still keeps making them.

Not that miniscule I don't think, to be fair.

I can't say I have, no
You may be right though.
When I press the info button on the remote for information on the show that was due to start at, for example, 2.00pm but it is 2.06pm and still running ads and previews and the 'i' button still shows programme info for the show that finished 6 minutes ago....trivial yes but boy that annoys me
Studio audiences who cheer and holler way too loudly over absolutely nothing at all.
They even cheer and holler simply because the show has just come back from the adverts.

Gratuitous iPad wielding.
I was just watching a channel 5 football programme and the 3 presenters were all holding iPads, and in the 30 minutes they didn't once look something up, read something, or touch the screens at all. Just held them, and occasionally gestured with them.
I presume they still have autocue and a production team putting up relevant clips and graphics so other than a desire to look cutting edge and tech savvy, what are they for?

On a more lo-fi note, I hate the way today's presenters (Sunday Brunch I'm looking at you) have to constantly clutch those "idiot cards"

Similarly, male guests who sit with their legs wide apart. What are they trying to say? Look at my huge package? Ruddy close them.
This may have been mentioned before, but continuity announcers saying "And next [insert name of programme you plan to watch]..." when actually what's next is yet another "Brought to you by..." ad.
Presenters on breakfast TV programmes on all channels who are constantly saying ''Good morning'' to each other when they must have met before they went into the studio - a persistent offender is that Steph on the BBC who gurns into the camera.

A variation usually heard on BBC3 was 'Up next...' which you think would be the programme about to start but actually referred to the programme on after the programme about to start.
