I’m actually really happy with my
AppleTV. I have one in each room. They work with a shared

I get all the channels on my HD receiver except ABC. Apparently they have a weak signal in DFW.

I just witnessed the saddest excuse for a TV show:
America’s Bingo Night. When I saw the commercial I thought it was some kind of joke. I thought
Deal or No Deal was dumb. This is even worse. Kudos to the producers for getting the audience to participate.…

One of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite 80’s TV shows was the “Living Legend” on Battlestar Galactica. This was a two part episode starting Lloyd Bridges as Commander Cain. It was a great episode because it pit Lloyd Bridges’ Cain against Loren Green’s Adama.…
