Our television reception is very bad lately and the cable company sent over a guy to check the cables. He removes the old cable outside and connects a new one. It seems to help, so now we can watch television again. One problem still exist, there isn’t that much on. Even though we have a personal video recorder, a hard drive equipped box, that records television before you view it, which enables to pause live TV (very handy for pee breaks) and to skip all those annoying commercials, we don’t watch much TV. Basically only ER, Lost and 24 (short titles rule!). We watch a lot of movies on the TV though, but they are almost all downloaded from the Internet, or on DVD. Still I don’t want to cancel our cable subscription, because we could watch the news. We don’t do it very often though, since it doesn’t make us happy. Too many bad things are going on in the world, things that we haven’t any control over.
