One of the problems with our new home is the lack of TV reception. We're tucked into the north side of the hill so any satellite dish would find it difficult to pick up a signal. There is no cable this far out on the rural line. And the telephone company that was supposed to have TV service via CAT-5 cable, just like it has high speed Internet, has yet to receive the routers necessary to make that happen.
As a result of this delay in service, we sit and listen to the radio or surf the Internet. We've missed all the hoopla of the NCAA football bowls and New Year's Day parades but little else. Until last night.
Last night was, of course, the two hour premiere of Day 6 on 24 and marked the return of Jack Bauer from his long, slow ride to China. We were scheduled to have dinner and watch the show at Don and Debs but a combination of Don's getting a cold/flu and some serious icing conditions on the roads caused a cancellation. (They taped the show for us anyway.) If Don is feeling better and if the weather improves, we will go over tonight to see hours 3 and 4.
Later this week American Idol makes it's debut. Hopefully the routers won't be here yet.

Glad to see that the absence of TV and construction has led to more blog posts! Good to see you back.
TV - Speaking for myself I think it's more habit than necessity. I sometimes do entertain the thought at times of just pulling the plug and living life without it.
