TV has certainly changed a whole heck of a lot in the past few decades. I remember as a kid hearing about how pay TV was coming in the future. I remember thinking that there would be a box on top of the TV that you had to put quarters in, much like the money boxes in the motels with the vibrating beds. LOL
These days most people have to pay for the TV and we have so many choices available to us due to it. I have had satellite for some time now and am happy with it and all the specials that they offer me each month. My most enjoyment comes from the sports Dish specials, especially come football season. There is nothing better than being able to watch any football game that you want to see from the comfort of my own home, with a nice cold six pack, plenty of muchies and as many friends that I can entice over to my place to enjoy the action right along with me. To watch any game in person would cost to much money and the crowds would be getting on my last nerve, and all of the traveling and parking issues that would go along with it – way over the top for this guy!
There are a few cable specials that my buddy invites me over to watch over at his place, which isn’t too far away. We try and work it out between us in order to get the best out of both options. It works out well most of the time. Plus it gets me out of the house when I get into my hermit mood every now and then.
