A Household First

My parents are installing satellite tv this morning. Until today we used the television exclusively for movies. No cable. No satellite. No transmission. This Thursday marks the first time that we will be able to channel surf in the comforts of our home.

Honestly, I don't know how this experiment in television will work out. We (read: I) signed up for a month-to-month contract in case the parents hate it. Perhaps it won't be worth the money. Perhaps movie watching is sufficient. Perhaps their active, outdoor lifestyle will clash with 100 channels. I don't know if the household can handle the sudden addition of both DSL and satellite tv in the same month. But of course time will tell.
