Television Relocation
We've had Bell ExpressVu, the Canadian direct TV satellite service, for years but we had the receiver attached to the main television in the living room. Not a bad thing except that Kent tends to monopolize that set. There are a number of shows from Canada I'd prefer to see rather than the local cable offerings, especially the National, the 10 PM CBC news program.
After some effort and re-threading of cables, we've moved the Bell receiver to the basement TV in line-of-site from my computer room. Kent can watch the drek he prefers upstairs while I expand my knowledge with life-enriching programming from the Dominion of Canada. Or, as Kent tells it, I can now watch "The Simpsons" from five different time zones instead of being restricted to EST.
And I can make my sci-fi friends jealous by watching the new "Dr. Who" series from broadcast instead of downloaded bitstreams from the Internet. :-)
Now to ditch Comcast entirely to go with DirectTV...
