Question

I just need to know if
zapping, channel surfing are synonyms, if subscribe is followed by to, and if propose could be followed the indirect object. I included a few more sentences I really don't know if they are possible.

1) I hate people zapping (channel surfing, channel-hopping) when watching TV.
2)We bought a Freeview box an a satellite dish to watch (free) satellite channels around the world). 3)We also subscribed (?) to Sky to watch the national football championship (season) as well as films. We pay a monthly fee of 30 Euros.
3) I like watching current affairs programmes or talk shows.
4) I read the newspaper every day, mostly the editorial and the sports section. (how do you call the comment section).
5) I'm a subscriber to the local newspaper, so I can keep up to date with (?) what happens in my area.
6) I don't have much time during the day. I just flick through the newspaper before going to work.

Answer 1

I take "zapping" to mean "deleting." For example, I like to zap through the ads on a recorded program.
