April 14, 2012. Canyon Lake, Texas. Television.

Our fancy system for television is not working, just at a time when we need it.   The  race for the Stanley Cup is underway.   Hockey is part of the DNA of most Canadians, us included.  We enjoy watching the playoffs.  Now our system is working some times and not working other times.   It is clearly not acceptable.

We purchased this portable satellite dish in order to avoid the monthly fees which we are forced to pay even though we are only in residence for a couple of months a year.  The theory was that the portable dish and box goes with us in the truck.  When we arrive at a new spot, Ken sets it up and we watch TV.  But it is not so simple.   A southern exposure is required, free of branches and trees.  When it works, it is wonderful but when it does not work it is infuriating.   "Loss of Signal" signs  appears on the screen and everything is black.  We groan.

 We don't watch much TV, but when the Caps are playing the Bruins we want to watch the game.  But today, the screen was black so we watched on my IPad.  This is definitely not acceptable, not at playoff time.
