[SBE] Here's a shocker

[Adrienne Abbott]

Your assessment is very accurate and while I don’t agree with everything you say I have to admit that I love my 52” Samsung flat screen and there are a few shows we enjoy. But some nights are strictly movie nights and we switch to Netflix and the Internet or the Blu-Ray player.

Most surveys I am told say less than 15% still use OTA for TV. So at around 85% of analog TV sets will and do work just fine for us with sat dishes, or cable or MSTV. I feel no angst for anyone that did not get a DTV STB and has had to rely on shopping network TV and religious channels for their entertainment world.  But to be honest, I find less and less to watch on TV every year.  At some point I will just get the walls of VHS tapes and DVDs out and watch them.  The local news has diminished to local propaganda for the network TV shows, bleed to lead stories from out of market areas, and political propaganda.  I don't need the weather part as I am more accurate than they are at figuring out what will be the clime tomorrow, and I couldn't give a hoot about sports, nothing but a news source for amateur gamblers.  There was an EAS test at 11:45 last night that wiped out all our sat TV channels "some local cable channel has sent an EAS test for the counties of ......."  4 minutes of garbage crawl and no program audio.  Thrilling.  the unnamed "local cable channel"  apparently missed the severe thunderstorm warnings earlier in the day and had to run a test before midnight.  Gosh I feel so safe knowing they tested their test signal.  It was nice to see the cameo of Cloris Leachman in the movie  "You Again" along with the other A list actors vs the TV fare Chef's Dancing with Schmucks"  with no talents judging no talent.
