[Rhodes22-list] Knowledge Pool Question.

[Rik Sandberg]

Anne,

For years we had 2 TV's. We needed 2 because one would pick up the 1 UHF 
station we could get and the other would pick up the 1 VHF station we could 
get. About 10 years ago, we got a DSS dish. It was cheaper than cable, 
which really wasn't available to us anyway as we lived outside of town. 
This was great. Now instead of 2 channels with mostly nothing on them, we 
now had available to us more like 100 channels with mostly nothing on them. 
But paging through all those channels did ease the boredom somewhat, as it 
takes a long time to look through that many channels to find which nothing 
you want to watch. Got to watch a hell of a lot of Leave it to Beaver and 
Gunsmoke reruns though :-) This summer we shut off the DSS and 
surprisingly, haven't missed it at all. We're back to the 2 channel (and 
free) thing again, though now we actually can pick up both channels on the 
same TV :-) Unfortunately, I have replaced the TV addiction with a computer 
addiction and now spend most of my time paging through endless spam, with 
nothing in it. Same pants, different pocket.......(sigh)
