  1. Ishtar, I have a tube tv in my bedroom. I can connect my dvd/vcr combo player to it because I have an rf converter. Get one of those and you can connect any new fangled devices to your tube tv.

  2. Cable/Satellite etc really is a racket. Papa Snappy used to bitch about it constantly. His favorite line was, “I go out and spend hundreds of dollars on a tv, bring it home, then I have to pay some bastard each month to *watch it*? SHHHHIIIIIIIIT!” He used to surf channels late at night, find one that was out of whack, call the cable company the next day and demand a discount on the next bill because all his channels weren’t working. He paid for x number of channels, and he expected them all to work and have programming all the time. He was a hoot.

  3. JACKAL!!! He who casts the first pun ought not be shunning punning:

    No seriously though I’m not punning. Resisting. Temptation.

  4. I’m not really a first adopter of anything these days. The only reason I’m even getting a new TV is because my tube telly really is obsolete and most of the new devices you can use with TVs these days won’t work with it.
