I find it confusing when I watch television to see so many commercials advertising the many different satellite television providers. I can remember when I was a little girl, we only had rabbit ears on our television set! Eventually we had a fixed position roof-top antennae, then one that rotated. We thought that was high tech for sure! When cable television came out, I was still quite young and couldn’t understand why anyone would pay for television! After all, we had perfectly great free television! Let’s see, we had three major networks, a local network, and public television! What more could anyone want?
We were told that pay television was going to be popular because it was going to be commercial-free. Well, I don’t know how long that lasted, because by the time I purchased cable television it was full of commercials! I can remember the day my hubby ordered our first satellite service! I don’t know how many satellite tv providers there were at the time – it was back in the 1980′s! There might have been only one satellite tv provider at the time! The satellite dish was HUGE! And it was a huge eyesore as well! I think it is remarkable the progresses that have been made in television technology. The dishes are very small now, and the choices are many. It can be a tough decision to make!
