About a month ago I scratched an itch that had been bothering me for a while. I had finally saved up enough money to get myself a new TV. That's right, I joined the flat screen revolution about a decade late. But, better late than never. It was an exciting day when I finally took the plunge and emptied my personal savings account. Most of 3 months of working a second job went into that TV and it h as been worth every penny. I chose a 46" Samsung LCD and haven't regretted it.
There were some bumps along the way of course. There was the hour or so it took for me to figure out that the HD channels were up in the stratosphere of my PVR. I couldn't figure out why my picture was so small. When you turn the channel on the receiver it says both SD and HD are ok, so I thought they must come in on the same feed. Yeah, I know that was pretty dumb, but I eventually recovered.
I still have a 27" tube television sitting in my basement. I would really like to make that go away.
I have subscribed to the Center Ice package and have been loving all of the HD hockey I've been watching. Of course, I don't always like what I'm seeing on the ice and I have to make my displeasure known to the players and the universe as a whole. I can hear my wife laughing upstairs. That really wrecks the effect.
The downside of having a great TV is wanting to watch said TV more often. I have been watching the TV too much. I have a fever and the only cure is more TV.
