We were playing poker with Al and Sue who live across the street, when we started talking about TV. Al had seen all those ads where the cable companies make fun of Satellite TV and say that it’s expensive, a nuisance, and unreliable. I told Al that there must be some reason why the cable companies were spending so much money to talk us all out of using Satellite TV systems - maybe they were afraid of the competition.
My wife Myrna started talking about the poor picture quality that sometimes comes with cable and mentioned that we were thinking of switching to this Dish Network system, which gave us both Satellite and a new digital type TV, which was supposed to be better than our old set. We bickered back and forth debating the topic, until Myrna and I won the pot and decided to call it a night, our winnings in hand.
The next day, we called Dish Network. It worked like a charm. Everything was included and installed for us and we didn’t have to worry about any of this new modern-type technology. We even got this new kind of recorder, a DVR, that lets us record programs without having to fumble around looking for blank videotape. It also lets us pause our favorite program if the phone rings or we want to make a snack. Later, we can start it right where it left off.
As for being reliable, last week there was big rainstorm and lots of wind. We sat inside, cozy as can be and watched our Dish Network TV. We laughed when we saw the poor postman across the way at Al and Sue’s delivering that big, fat cable bill.
