Thread: My TV is broken

Tweet

The funny thing is that I/we have Direct TV but in spite of a lot of channels most of them are pay channels or kids cartoons AND I can't get the local stations unless I use our litle kitchen TV set with a new converter box. The point is that there are different satellites and they are not truly broadband because different satellites cover different channels. I pay extra for the Science Channel and really enjoy that including the NASA stuff. I watched the Hubble repair/upgrade for a whole week! My Direct TV really only gets some news channels, pay movies and Spanish stations. With apologies to JYard Girl I will mention I do enjoy watching Channel 253 on Direct TV which is the Womens Channel with movies where the men are always wrong but at least those movies are free and I enjoy discussing them when watching them with my wife who will watch almost any detective/murder mystery story so we actually do enjoy the 253 channel as a thing to watch together but I have to go to a local station on the converter box for the NASCAR station. Our little kitchen TV with the converter box is really clear because the pixel density is tight and the digital stuf is crisp anyway.
