Broadcast Digital Television

I hate to complain but, I remember the television shows of the 50's to 2000. The shows had entertainers such as Lucy, Gleason, Benny, Berle, Rowan, Martin to name a few.

As a young lad I remember the TV would slowly warm up, humming and blinking as the magic box came to life. This was followed by the Target Indian Screen indicating no programming was available at this time slot. I hated Indians no wonder they lost the war!!

When programming came on it was snowy and reception was poor and often weather related. Our set had a number of fine tune dials to preoccupy the viewers time until weather was better. The content however was the best. The entertainment value far out weighed the reception. Neighbors would always comment on which channels were clear along with times and wind directions.

And Away We Go, Alice!!!!

The last writer's strike produced multiple shows with cheap non actors participating in college hazing rituals of eliminations. Competition Dancing and Singing are televised in lieu of real people who dance and sing well. Cooking, Fishing, Hunting shows would no doubt be considered humor to my Grandparents! A bit boring for my tastes.

Sunday afternoon 12:30 broadcast bracket of the 40 channels listed 16 were "Paid Programing" 11 were Spanglish 5 were political debates.

All things equal and sense of fair play shouldn't Paid Programming be required to carry 10 minutes of entertainment breaks.

Today's TV offers vivid picture quality but lacks substance of content.
You never see the Indian Screen, as programming is now invasive.

I recently discovered there are as many Spanish stations as English. I also noticed that once the sound is muted both English and Spanish stations improved in the entertainment value. I think it's best not to hear what they're saying, regardless of the language spoken. They are in fact equally inferior in quality!!!!!

For high quality television programming simply download the Indian Screen and click "Print". Tape the printed copy on your TV screen and follow this blog. I will advise all blog follower's when quality programming returns.
