Both channels are owned by Discovery. They do a lot of cross promoting on their channels. I watched one episode - it was stupid. I got transferred to a new city in 1992 before all the internet resources we have today, and had no trouble finding a house in 5 days. Today, people should know exactly what houses they want to see before they go on a house hunting trip. No wonder the commercial is annoying.😀 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/485/#findComment-6020733
