receiver in the bedroom, where I currently am and have been for the better part of the last ten days. It has the same programming as the one in the living room, as well.
The remote control for the thing is right here on my nightstand, and it has fresh batteries in it. (They're rechargeables, and the remote reports to the receiver when they get low, so I can pop in the other set from the charger.) We watch the late news / weather on the local affiliates sometimes from here, and the really rare occasional movie. (Either something off the satellite, or from Netflix via this laptop and wireless network, or a DVD in the player / burner machine there on the rack with the TV and Sat. receiver.
Opportunity I have nearly constantly. Desire, that is what wanes mor and more as time goes by, and it was never very high to begin with.
Probably "lace curtain" or better yet, "moth-eaten lace curtain" would be better than Swiss cheese. Much more hole than anything else.
And 'disdain' is a little too energetic a term. Sort of implies I put active effort into not liking the God-D@mned-Idiot-Box. I'm less active about it than Jubal, he always wanted to take an axe to the stereovision box.
Me, I'm quite content just to leave it turned off. Too many books to read. Too much technical reading to do. (How they predict radio propagation from satellite data at the moment. I want to calculate the MUF myself.)
