Thank you!

#5Love how you captured the feel of channel surfing. Seems like most videos/channels I surfed through were at the midpoint or near completed in their play through (usual if you just hop on the tube at the middle of the hour).

#6The best part of this is the channel doesn't pause when you flip away from it. It is always "running" and if you flip away you will miss it. That builds in a FOMO trade-off which causes user to automatically/subconciously decide on channel they most want to watch, because they can't watch everything.

#7Haha this is really well engineered, it feels honestly like TV and not a cheap iframe embed

#8I really like how there are only 12 channels, and you don't get to choose what's on. The only way to make it even more like tv from a few decades ago would be if half of the channels were static.

#9This is neat! Feels just like old cable, the static transitions being a good touch.

#10You should make the channels change the video they're playing on a schedule, and link to a tv guide listing that shows the schedule.
