Era of "Lost Signal" Comes To An End

So we finally lived out our satellite contract with Dish Network. Most likely to be called the era of "lost signal"! Because this house lives and breathes by a television, we are never short on quality programming and our latest selection for viewing entertainment is no different! I was oblivious to the fact there were over 500 channels that can be purchased through Time Warner Cable! Remember when HBO had one channel? and it was 17.99 a month? and they played the same movie every day? and your parents didn't allow you to watch it after 10? Well, now HBO has like 8 channels and it's like $10 a month! But for those of you who hate change: they still play the same movie everyday and you still shouldn't allow your children to watch it after 10!

When it came time to select our channel package we couldn't seem to agree on anything, except that we could lose half of the home shopping channels and still be satisfied customers! Alas, we ended up with nearly 100 movie channel choices, 300 "regular" channels and 100 chances to watch various different sporting events! Tack on the DVR and multi-floor viewing, and it is certain that no house work will ever get done and I will be spared the pleasure (note sarcasm) of seeing any "Conan", "Predator" or gun-slinger type movies ever again! Ahh...that felt nice to say! Better yet, I will never miss another episode of "King of the Hill", "Family Guy", "Gilmore Girls", or "House". Freakin' Sweet~
