Satellite Umbilical Cords

Whoopee!!! I finally broke down and decided to get satellite tv. Now, I can once again, be connected with the rest of the world! Alright! It sounds so mundane, but living where I do, there is no such thing as cable. I'm too far beyond city limits. It's satellite or nothing. Fine. As technologically inept as I am, I was afraid to get it before. I believed that it was permanent, that once I had it hooked up or installed or whatever, that I had to continue my service at that address. I recently discovered otherwise and decided I was tired of network tv that only comes in if it is't raining or blustery. Plus, the house is already wired for it. There's a dish and everything! All the tech has to do is whatever he needs to do with the receivers. Yay! I will again be able to poison my mind with Comedy Central! I just feel so out of it whenever people talk about shows that are only on cable. I have no clue unless there's been something in the paper or I've managed to see it elsewhere. Once this is hooked up, I will be connected again and feeding my cultural self regularly. All with the push of a button. Ain't technology grand?
