...satellite TV and modern televisions high technology is light years away from what I was beamed up on. I never dreamed of TV becoming amazing again. I was the guy with 12 oclock blinking-green on his VCR. Yes, VCR. Getting the hang of todays TV was not a piece of cake for me. I can remember Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show gyrating inside a black & white-glass-globe-picture-tube about the sie of a window on a front-load washer. And the glow of that box-at-the-end-of-a-wire got me excited. I watched plenty alright! And I cant remember ever complaining about having to get up from the couch to change the channel... or adjust the antenna. Wagon Train, then Star Trek on a 19 inch color television set became as good as it got. I lost sight of televisions high technology after that I suppose. Yes, I saw TVs getting bigger and I got hip to cable and the remote control, but distracted by intelligent life forms and a gazillion other things, todays satellite TV and modern televisions high technology almost passed me by. It wasnt until my first trek to a home-electronics super-store to replace that dinosaur 25inch Zenith color-console in a polished-wood-cabinet that matched our living-room furniture so long ago I realized I wasnt in Kansas anymore. I was lost. Lost in a new-world-unknown. A world of satellite TV on flat-screens square and wide. Where thin plasma televisions hung on walls and flat-panel LCD TVs framed in silver sat upon slender, tilting pedestals. I saw TVs that connect to your computer and one giant-screen, rear-projector that eats digital camera memory sticks to show your photos of grandma on vacation - in larger than life and surround! TVs are still getting bigger alright. But now theyre amazing again and Im excited. And with that excitement and amazement comes downright confusion. How do they do that? And what of all that is right for me? So began my personal quest for reality in TV. I like the idea of a TV satellite dish on my roof, but it really is a new-tech jungle out there my friend. Prepare if you too are from Kansas. Ill help you get a clue about whats beyond the cornfield before you go out to buy what could become the most incredible entertainment experience you and your living room - or Elvis, could ever dream-up. And for a lot less than you probably think. I learned some tricks. Keep your eye on the Planet. Ill fill you in on why I cant leave home anymore. Hint? My final destination of wide screen TV, hi-def receiver, TV satellite dish and provider of satellite TV. ### |
