About the Author
  • I love techno-geekie toys. These days it seems that technology is a part of every moment of your life. From the alarm clock that wakes you up in the morning to the microwave that heats up your dinner, we are encased in a life full of electronic products. They make modern life possible. When I am not playing with or reading about the latest and greatest tech toys, I work at Best Buy. The company is a fun place to work and I experience its commitment to its values and philosophies. I do my best to live them everyday. I take great pride in working for a company that values innovation, ingenuity and supports its employees in a manner that allows them to unleash their unique talents and abilities.

Satellite TV

A few months ago I went on vacation, and while the location and actives were wonderful, one thing that impacted me the most was watching non-broadcast television.  During my teen year my parents got cable, but somehow over the years I stopped watching as much TV and chose not to have non-broadcast channels.  With Hulu and other sites like it, I watch a few of the shows that interest me on my laptop.  However, I love news and science programs which don't often make it to legitimate re-broadcasting websites.  After I get home from work, I generally work for two more hours while watching TV.  Therefore, I decided to step into the twenty-first century and get satellite TV.

   

I chose satellite because its features seem to fit my lifestyle best.  I now have hundreds of channels with educational and informational programming to watch.  Once I started playing with the DVR functionality, I totally geeked out.  While it may seem like a simple thing, I love being able to record the evening news and watch it when I get home.  Now I don't have to worry about rushing out of the office and fighting traffic!  I'm not exactly sure why I have three different jewelry shopping channels, but I can live with them.  Thanks to my DVR, I can now pretty much watch any of the varieties of Star Trek whenever I want.  I'm ready to engage in the re-discovery of non-broadcast television and the many wonders it offers.

I like your post about Satellite TV even though I don't watch TV anymore. I use my computer now to watch the news or my favorite programs. Now you can record your favorite show to watch it at a later time, thanks to your ability to use your DVR. That was my biggest challenge when I used to watch TV; I could never understand my DVR. Great post!

Really enjoyed this post! I don't watch much TV either and I tend to use my iPhone to keep up-to-date with news and my fave entertainment publications. A few things I do enjoy watching on TV are films and the Discovery channel. Your description of the virtual experience available through 3-D technology was an inetresting perspective. It actually makes me want to buy a 3-D TV! Perhaps you should consider moonlighting as a copywriter for BBY, because your description of the ocean, universe, etc, swilring around, gave me the perfect visual!
