Well our old boat anchor of a TV set finally decided to rest and no matter how many times we sent it in for repairs at the local TV Repairs Shop, the unit just developed some kind of intermittent problems. So what do you do when that happens ?
We can do without Television of course but thats not so convenient these days . We don't watch much Television but its nice to have it for a number of reasons which are obvious in our urban setting. Anyway the question was what kind of TV types, brands, models and features are we going to have as the replacement unit ?
After a day of family brainstorming.. we finally decided on a 42 inch LG LCD type Television unit which is supposed to have it all for what we need ! And it is now sitting nicely where we had the old one which had been sitting there for years !
To make it even more interesting, we opted for the upgraded subscription from our local Satellite Channel Provider , ASTRO, and signed up for their High Definition HD Beyond package ! And wow that is an overall worthwhile upgrade as we can now watch several additional channels in High Definition format..
We have also since downloaded a very interesting Satellite Direct computer based program that offers a wide variety of global Channels which we can feed into the HDMI interface on the LG Monitor ! And what a show.. it makes one wonder how much technology has advanced these days..
The Satellite Direct Program is actually designed to offer TV viewing on your Laptop or personal computers so you can have access to global Television programming even when you are on the move. It offers some 3,500 channels ! But not all are active all the time . But for what it does it is a useful program to have on your laptop if you are monitoring global or local news and events.
