"Fortunately" the wind blew our antenna down, so now we have a new digital antenna for only the cost of the insurance deductible. So we get a lot more than the 5 channels we used to get... when we can get them, when they aren't breaking up, when the box doesn't want to be re-scanned at a crucial point in a show. In short. I had to reprogram my mind to not care about TV so much since it's never a sure thing that I'll get to watch a whole show. So I suppose that's good. It might just wean me off of TV.

Since the switchover here in the US I still have some channels I cannot get at all and others I've never seen before. It's a pain and only implemented so that we will all get so frustrated we'll switch to cable and they'll make more money off of us. I just don't even watch that much anymore. I hear you.
