How did we ever live without it?

On Wednesday we passed a major milestone in our lives. We got satellite TV. For any of you that know me well know that we have been stuck in the stone ages at our house. We have been using rabbit ears to watch TV. As times are changing, and come February our rabbit ears will be obselete, we decided it was high time that we updated.

Now I am wondering how we ever lived without all these channels. Really! In 24 hours of having access to hundreds of channels rather than 5, we have learned so much. For instance, we learned survival skills from some guy named Bear. I won't tell you what he said about how to get water when you are stranded in the middle of no where and have no water source available. Um, yuck! My husband has been particularly taken with the history, military and National geographic (to name a few) channels that provide endless useless information.

I found a channel called Fit Tv, now I can exercise without even leaving my house (yeah right). I also found where I can get my Glenn Beck fix (now that is useful!). The best part is we also got a DVR so we don't ever have to miss anything on TV ever again. Unless it is something on a local channel. Evidently those aren't available through our satellite at the moment, but will be soon. Hopefully before the next season of Lost!

The main reason we got satellite was so that we can watch conference from the comfort of our own home. In the past we have watched/listened to it on-line, but watching it on TV makes so much more sense, not to mention it will be more comfortable than sitting in front of the computer.

Yay for modern technology! We never have to leave the house again, at least for entertainment. It is all here at the touch of a button. Now if only I can figure out what all the buttons on the remote are for.....
