entertainment choices

Hi,

I'm just wondering what folks have for couch potato entertainment. I'm curious as to what you like and dislike. BTW, things weren't really better 'back then' -- when I do look up old shows, many weren't really that good.

I have satellite, and I'm far from thrilled, but I'm an official old person (...and another thing...). I only have basic, but I don't see too much when I scan the $$ choices.

When I look at Hulu, it seems like an awful lot of fooling around to find what I want. I know that there is H+, Netflix and the like, but it seems you have to hook up with at least a free trial to see what they have. Is it the same 'search for a show' format?

So, if you'd be so kind, please describe what you use and a little bit about why you do.

Thanks,

hj

I record shows like Pawn Stars and American Restoration (a favorite) that way I can skip the multitudes of commercials.
We have Netflix and have watched some of their original production shows.
Little or nothing of interest on regular TV these days, but I do like football in the fall.

I think of movies and videos just like I do books - If I want them, I get them.

I quit watching public TV a long time ago, because I was tired of people trying to sell things to me that I just did not care about.

I am eclectic - yet I am also very selective.

If I do not want it in my library I never buy it.

Paying for television?

I prefer video games of the racing or RPG genres, for they are interactive. The outcome is a product of your own skills and thinking.
I honestly think that they are teaching tools, rather than plain and simple programming
