I just upgraded to a 32 inch LCD TV as well, now I need to upgrade my dish to High Def.

We've come such a long way from the first TV that I watched growing up as a kid. It was black and white ofcourse, had a wooden box and my Dad got it in 1957, 11 years before I was born. And we were still watching it until probably the late 70's as I can remember that TV very clearly. Then my brother who was working in Saint John bought a big floor model TV and brought it home and about early 80's we finally got cable, man 13 channels of pure entertainment, oscar the grouch never looked so clear and you didn't have to keep getting up to adjust the rabbit ears. Anyway fast forward to last summer at the lake where we're watching a new 13 inch TV that we brought from home but have to use rabbit ears for an antenna and just get two channels half ass. Every time the train went by it screwed up the TV and the kids would start complaining and the wife and I would remind them that was how TV was when we were kids. So I went and took the tin foil off of a cake sitting on the counter and rolled it up and attached it to the antenna. All the while my oldest daughter thinks that I'm loosing it. What are you doing she asks, so I told her that it might help the reception on the TV. Of course she scoffs loudly at the very thought of it. The picture was no Hi Def but it helped by about 50% better and the kids were amazed. I'm telling you all they know is turn on the TV and all the channels you want pop up. Now that we've got digital cable my daughter has found a new thing to complain about, 'On Demand" isn't working. Oh no the end is coming soon. 13 year olds, apparently they know everything.

Hey getting back to tv I wonder if the tv was even invented when Lee was a kid LOL just kidding . Was it ?

Yes it was invented when I was about 5 or 6 (not really sure) but I do remember watching Hopalong Cassidy and the Lone Ranger a lot as a kid.

Wild TV and World Fishing Network (WFN) still rocks, you see the master plan is that in order to be able to watch DR Phill in the evening we'd have to get digital cable and it just so happens that you can get the other channels as well. It's not working as she has stated that after the one year trial we are switching back, hopefully she'll forget about it by then. Watched water buffalo hunting in the Austrailian outback the last few nights, I didn't even know that they had water buffalo I thought that they were just in Africa. Anyway they're big and mean and will walk right up to a hunter with their head lowered if you don't shoot them first.
