Yes MTV in itself is terrible, but they are apparently trying to improve things if you have a good digital cable package. Naturally they fail to do so. I get some channel called MTV X that plays rock and so called rock videos all day. It surprised me that they actually played a Cannibal Corpse video on there once however thats about the only, I guess obscure (can't think of the right word), band that I've ever seen on that channel aside from I suppose Cradle of Filth. All in all they play some decent stuff like old megadeth and pantera and such, but in classic mtv style they follow those up with some terrible rap-metal shit or some creed..... It still worries me when bands I like show up on any channel owned by MTV though.
To escape MTV, I generally just leave the Metal "Music Choice" channel on all day, which actually plays Nevermore, but that has been mysteriously broken as of late.
