you only think you're funny, god

Plugged the TV back in (I unplugged it before I left town, because I read somewhere they can explode or you get ants or something DON'T QUESTION ME), removed the old...um...box thing that let the cable box and the DVDs and the TV all talk to each other, and finally got around to actually connecting the new antenna. Ran the program thing where the TV searches for channels and adds them in.

I can get one channel now.

It's FOX.

Watched 2 minutes of The X Factor, then put in A Hard Day's Night because I hate punching myself in the face.

Oh, no! Fox for fuck's sake.

Dave Holmes' recaps of American Idol The X Factor are tolerably amusing.

That's about as close as I get to broadcast TV these days.

See, we need to take an attitude like my husband: when we go on car trips, as soon as we're over the pass, out of the reach of civilization, he's poking at radio buttons, going, "I'm searching for fascist radio!" And then all the way to Portland or Sand Point, or whatever, there's a continuing dialog with whatever madman is foaming about satan and/or immigrants and/or Hillary all over the airwaves.

When we toured Alaska a couple years ago, EVERY hotel TV everywhere we stayed was tuned to Fox News.

There's nothing to watch on those other channels anyway...

Have you got trees or buildings or utility poles or basically any solid object at all around your property? Then you might need a roof antenna. The only time I ever got any digital broadcast channels was when I lived on the 15th floor.
