We know you love your Time-Warner cable. But guess what? The whole world doesn't want to subscribe to some shit-ass cable service, or have to be tethered to a cable box. I don't sit around and "dedicate" time to watch DVDs either... Sometimes I just like to have the TV on in the background while I do other things... The way McCloud is on right now as I type this. It's also the way I find new things to enjoy, not just buying things I've already heard of.
Plenty of people facing tough times and lost jobs right now, so I don't have much use for guaranteeing a revenue stream for a bunch of cable-companies and Chinese crap manufacturers looking to fill landfills with functional products.
I'm not going to cry if digital takes off, but I'll probably enjoy a good chuckle if the whole bomb blows up in the government-mandated face.  |
I know the feeling, myself, I'm going through rough times, being unemployed for a while but I did find a good job delivering auto parts. Auto parts and mechanics are doing quite well, people are keeping their old cars. Still, I have to crawl out of the hole. I also do free lance web design, I want to get out of the business but a few people depend on me so I keep it on life support. A lot of times I don't have time for DVD's either so many times I have my ATSC box turned on using a Commodore 1702 monitor as a TV in the computer room. It's nice to have RTN on, I like McCloud, Air Wolf and so on. BTW, it seems like three quarters of the shows, were produced or made by Donald Bellasario, Glen Larson or both, it should be called the Bellasario/Larson Channel but I still love it.
I see shows there I haven't seen in a while, I always loved "Voyagers!"
