That's better, I knew the version I had seen had "incompetence" in there.

1) Is there anything that happens today which doesn't instantly
generate a conspiracy theory to explain it?

2) How does anyone find enough programming worthwhile enough to care
about reception quality? If I were only able to watch a few hours of
TV a week that would probably be fine, just so long as This Old House
and a couple of other shows were on the list. Most of the rest lives
up to the old "vast wasteland" description the chairman of the FCC
used so appropriately in 1961.


I keep DTV for reasons.

1 - To watch my alma mater's football games. The very few other shows
that I care to see I can usually get off the internet.

2- My wife watches stuff and would kill me if I canceled it. :-)


also, OTA reception is terrible where we live.


I meant DirecTV when I wrote DTV.
