variety.

Considering that I've moved to a seperate continent I'm not one to make this statement but change is shit. Especially if something is fantastic to start off with like digital cable. Then you move to the country and can only get satelite which in Canada is essentially shit. Basically it's the same thing but satelite is far more complicated, moodier than cable, has far too many channels with nothing on and hates responding to your remote's signal. You yell at the satelite box, and tug away on te cord leading to the actual dish but realize the error in your ways and try to caress it, and let it know that you didn't mean to jerk it around. And it appreciates that, and responds to this by playing what you want, with crystal clear picture, not sending out a fuzzy signal but then a lighting bolt fries the system and you left with frayed wires and the black and white screen I can sometimes find scary (no I haven't seen White Noise mainly because I'm positive it's horrifying). Then you move to the UK where it's simple viewing because you have terrestrial (sp??) tv with five channels. And BBC doesn't have ad breaks. However some British tv is less than desirable and clealry it's not the same as cable, not better nor worse just easier to follow with less interruptions.

I guess change isn't really shit. Well changing from good to shit is obviously shit. But if you can reprogram yourself then you can go from good to shit to not neccesarily better than good but definitely not worse, but of course better than shit. If only CSI was on iTV all day. Wait, iTV is shit. British tv is a bit shit actually. But the picture is much clearer and it's guranteed to always stay and guess what? All of England is going digital in just a few short months (I think...).

Do you copy?
