I have a question I have not researched, yet.
Will the big honkin' mast antenna on top of our house be useful in the digital age?
Is an antenna an antenna, or will it have to be replaced?
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Why is google maps different now than it used to be?
Is it just different for me because I'm suddenly hitting something different, or logged in differently somehow, or has it really changed? I don't like it. Make it go back!

Flea, cable and satellite companies are required to offer local broadcast channels.
My television watching is still more analog than digital, and I've been pondering my cable bill as part of a general belt tightening. It looks like I can get most of my non-broadcast shows online from the source or Hulu, except for one or two that I'd have to pay to download. I prefer watching television in my den on my television, but it looks like a Tivo on my wireless network could play those shows on my television. Is that right? Is there some other way? This whole thing makes me feel kind of stupid.
I could get minimal cable for $19 a month rather than the $53 I'm paying now for digital basic. I'd probably have to get an external antenna to cut cable entirely, because some channels are pretty fuzzy on rabbit ears. (I recognize that this is all a first-world problem. With my budget, I should really just watch fuzzy TV and like it.)
While I'm asking ignorant television questions, if I got a second monitor, something I'm thinking about anyway for work, could I watch internet television on one monitor and work on another?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ginger, we got an AppleTV and watch stuff we downloaded from iTunes on our TV. Very cool. I think Cashmere has one too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an Apple TV too. Cool box, but I don't know that I had an Apple TV-shaped hole in my life to fill.
