Well, it wasn't the initial plan, but has ended up to be the much better one. At least if you ask the Mama of the house. It started with the desire to save some $. We decided to switch from Fios, back to Time Warner- bad mistake, but in the end it worked out. After having Time Warner back multiple times to make our internet and Tv work, even one of the customer reps.there suggested it might be best if we switched back to Fios. However we took it a step further and decided to just get internet and drop cable. The plan was to get an antennae for the basic stations, and then watch other things online. However, hubby forgot- and it was certainly nothing that would have entered my mind, the kids tv's would be too old for reception unless they had a digital converter box ( which cost about 50 each and defeats the initial save money idea, although eventually it would) So for now, what do we have?? One Tv in the Living room with the basic stations on it. And why does that make me happy????
1. I came home the other night to see my teenage daughter watching the news.
2. We watch TV more as a family now.
3. Nobody can hide in their room and turn on something I may consider inappropriate.
4. No more wasting electricity by people falling asleep with their TV on.
5. Less sleep deprivation- no one has to stay up to see the next episode of Hank Hill or....
Anyhow, I think it's great, although I understand others may not share my same opinion!! :)
REading Now: nothing, the "Book Thief" is still lost!- Oh but we do get the daily paper now and that's been good reading too- and funny to discuss news stories with the FAM!
And so it goes....
