I'm especially interested in the reject sports channels since ESPN2 doesn't show much of that sh*t any more.Dohsanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884148005077602324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252760795777865548.post-66677847590542361882009-07-24T16:41:11.497-04:002009-07-24T16:41:11.497-04:00You'd get the ones that were in range.

I must also say that it is infuriating dealing with my mother in law who can't understand why she has to have a box with her TV, calls every time she can't figure out how to turn it all on, and refuses to plunk down $180 on a new digital TV. Which I think may describe most people who still get broadcast TV.Gus Snarpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252760795777865548.post-29494813469973519942009-07-22T11:51:50.475-04:002009-07-22T11:51:50.475-04:00Andrew - this is probably overly argumentative, bu...Andrew - this is probably overly argumentative, but given your usual free market arguments I thought I should remind you that all that "rubbish" is what the free market demands. :)<br /><br />Assuming you are the same Andrew...Gus Snarpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252760795777865548.post-82756737219021713292009-07-22T08:44:42.298-04:002009-07-22T08:44:42.298-04:00Wonder what the ET's would think of a steady d...Wonder what the ET's would think of a steady diet of sitcoms, infomericals, soap operas, and other rubbish.Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252760795777865548.post-37356389049216128022009-07-21T20:24:59.578-04:002009-07-21T20:24:59.578-04:00All public TV?

I was skeptical about the whole digital switcheroo at first, but now my TV gets a Vietnamese-language channel, and a Taiwanese channel, and a channel that shows nothing but African soap operas, and a channel that shows nothing but B-movies from the 70s and 80s, and a channel that shows reject sports like ping pong and badminton, and 3 different PBSes. It's way better than cable.Chachyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11411695462568128245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252760795777865548.post-56933370027815709712009-07-21T17:40:07.028-04:002009-07-21T17:40:07.028-04:00it's too bad all the good stuffs on cable.it's too bad all the good stuffs on cable.K H D and sometimes Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15686734885770764068noreply@blogger.com
