The most boring channel

I've seen boring channels in my life. When I lived in Mountain View, we got the NASA channel, which most of the time seemed to show a nice graphic of where the shuttle was, when it was orbiting the earth. Nice to look at for a second or two, but it gets old fast. But now, I've gotten cable. Not because I wanted it, but because it is temporarily cheaper for me to have cable plus a cable modem then just to have a cable modem by itself. The new cable system has something much more boring then the NASA station, it's the oscilloscope station. It's a video of an oscilloscope. I don't know what possible use this could have to anyone. It's not like it's a video of just oscilloscope output, no, that might conceivable have a use. This is just a video of an oscilloscope displaying a waveform. What the hell is it for?

Here's a picture of my TV displaying the oscilloscope, which in turn is displaying a waveform. If you look at this picture, you never have to watch this channel again.
