Cable Update
Readers yesterday may have read about Base10's recent acquisition of cable television. It's great, but I have several observations, so far:
- Star Trek, in one of its various incarnations, is on at least one channel all the time. This is a good thing.
- Video-on-Demand is a really great idea. No more renting movies.
- No matter how many channels you have, it is still possible that nothing is on.
- Except for a couple of good series and a great made-for-cable movie now and again, most programs on the Sci-Fi Channel feature giant man-eating insects.
- Watching cable news 24/7 can actually get boring.
Seriously, my next purchase is a Slingbox. How cool is that?
