The major networks are, for the most part, an cultural wasteland. I
never used to watch much television in the days that we caught the
transmissions over the air. Then I got satellite and got a bunch of
specialty channels. I watch a local news station... for local news, and
some of the international news stations, and there are a couple network
comedy shows. The rest of the stuff is a waste of my time.

Hi def is nice for some things. I have to say that if I watch hockey I
prefer in in the regular mode. My satellite includes close to 20 HD
stations. A lot of the nature stuff I get on DVD or BluRay from the
library.
