There are hundred of channels out there, but only so much time we can dedicate to watching it. DVR has definitely changed the way television is watched, giving people the opportunity to watch a wider variety of shows when they want. You can even watch shows that are on at the same time, where in the past you had to choose. Here are the top ten TV Networks, but go ahead and add your own on toptentopten.com.
10. Travel Channel
10. Travel Channel
It's the best way to visit the world from the comfort of your own home. Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations is fascinating as you get to see the different cuisines of the world; tat guy will literally eat anything. You get some great ideas and tips on places to visit when you're not channel surfing.
9. PBS

As long as you can deal with the annual telethon, nothing beats PBS's commercial free programming. Whether you have young children, are into science, politics, history, art, or anything else intellectual, PBS has it all. Nova is a classic and all the local programming gives you a feel for the issues in your own backyard.
8. Food Network

The only thing I like more then watching delicious food is eating it. This station has brought Iron Chef into pop culture, tell me another food show that has been turned into a Wii game. Good Eats is probably the best show on the network currently, so many great ideas and done in an entertaining manner.
7. HGTV

HGTV provides all the information you would ever need to know about buying a home, staging it, selling a home, interior design, landscaping, and DIY projects. You get a glimpse of all the different homes there are out there and he different styles that people choose. It also shows you the dark-side; houses that are in disrepair and people that let their homes fill up with junk. House Hunters is great, guesing which house will be chosen is the best part.
6. Spike TV

This channel was created for those humans that have a Y chromosome, but even the ladies enjoy it. Wide range of television that isn't shown anywhere else, but also replaying some favorites like CSI. UFC is also featured (for free!) and Jesse James is a Dead Man needs to receive a mention.
5. Discovery Channel

Discovery makes science cool. They have one of the largest selection of shows out there on a wide range of topics, some favorites include Man vs. Wild, Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Ax-Men, and the spectacular series Planet Earth.
4. HBO

The only premium channel on this list, but much deserved. They feature all the best movies and with DVR, you basically have a library of movies to choose from to watch anytime you want. But it's their TV Shows that have made them so great with the likes of Entourage, Big Love, True Blood, Sex in the City, Deadwood, Weeds, and so on and so on...
3. History Channel
3. History Channel

So many great shows that feature some of the most interesting events in history, often bringing new information and footage that has never been seen. Battle's BC is an excellent new show, as well as all their other programs about war.
2. ESPN
2. ESPN

Sports all day everyday, and done well. Hands down the best sports programming, ESPN has been the standard for decades. Sportscenter has better journalism then most networks and getting the exclusive looks into your favorite teams and players never grows old.
1. Comedy Central

The funniest channel on TV is an endless barrel of joke cracking monkeys, including Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert. This is also the channel that brought you Chappelle Show and the legendary South Park. The only free place you can watch stand-up comedy, late night they even play sets that are unedited.
