I feel cheated.
I'm still waiting for the telephones with a screen on them to see who you are talking to.

If you don't have CABLE OR SATELLITE you won't get any channels anymore until you do get one or the other.

We got our one "antenna" TV hooked up to a converter. Getting all the stations fine except for ABC and PBS. I have a VHF/UHF antenna with the proper adapter. Not sure what to do. If I stand on my head and wave with my right foot while holding the antenna in my left hand, I kind of get channel 12 and I get real dizzy.

What's all this about baking oil? I thought you were talking bout this new fangled Tele Vision thang. Hell, ya'll just confused me to damn. Cooking oils, some new fangled Tele Vision, And this last ole boy here even mentioning baseball players, now I don't know what that A-Rod got to do with any ole Crisco baking oil or Tele Vision at all. Can you people just stay on point and help me understand?

FYI, for satellite TV you don't have to do anything
so stop "Inserting Rod A into Slot B" with the excuse that you are trying to make the TV work.
