Those were the good old days when dad had to venture out side in the freezing could or pouring rain to give the old television antennae an adjustment. In a strong wind it could spin completely out of range and not pick up a signal at all.

This meant a trip out doors and someone on the inside to yell out to turn it the other way or that is as good as it is going to get. Actually, those were the frustrating old days when sometimes trying to watch television could be really aggravating.

Then there were the inside antennas. Those reliable old rabbit ears, we would twist and turn them, hang them from a wall or ceiling, and even decorate them with aluminum foil all in the name of getting the television picture to tune in just a little bit better.

It is astounding that today we take that perfectly clear and crisp satellite picture we get so much for granted. We get upset if a small line might run through our picture. Goodness knows how we would react if we had to watch it in black and white and the whole picture look like snow and sound like static at the same time.

Fortunately, those good old days are long gone and we get to enjoy television the way it was made to be enjoyed, with a clear picture you can see and sound you can understand. The satellite television we enjoy today is digitized and we get the very best picture possible. The high definition technology makes a picture that is so real and life like, it seems like you could reach out and touch it.

The digital sound technology is just as good. With the right television set, usually the newer models, the sound that comes out is almost like being in a movie theatre. When you own a big screen television and have satellite television, it is just as good as being in a theatre. You just have to spend 3 minutes making that microwave popcorn and fix your own glass of soda.

If children today had to endure television of the past for about a week, they would realize just how far we have came since those first good old days of television.

Even with the drawbacks that television used to have, it was still the greatest thing ever invented to most of us and we would have continued to watch it if even we had to stand on our heads. That was how much we loved television then and it would be hard to say exactly how much more we love satellite television now!
