Why Americans would pay for Canadian Satellite service is a real mystery. The dish water they serve up on Expressview is hardly worth paying for. If I was not in an area that restricted me to mainly Canadian television off an antenna, I would not pay for my satellite service. Having just returned from the United States where I watched the real History, T.L.C., Sci-Fi, Discovery, etc. etc. etc. chanels, I can attest to the poor content of Canadian satellite services.

Speaking of antennas in attics, I discovered one in the attic of a 'centuryhome' a couple of weeks ago. At some time kids had been playing in the attic and had hung some clothing off several of the antenna elements. I played my flashlight over the attic and slowly turned to find this 'demon' hanging just over my shoulder. I believe that there was a leak from the septic system vent in the attic and wrote it up.

They like the Canadian News they say it is not as filtered as theirs is and they get more world news including the full BBC from the UK. Far away fields always look Greener .
Some of the best TV I ever saw was on the Back feeds that most people do not know exist .
The two most memorable was the Northern Olympics
Games I never new existed between Canada ,USA, and Greenland Eskimos
Char and I watched it no commercials for 14 hours straight . some examples kick a piece a Small piece of seal skin and land on the same foot you kicked the skin . one went almost 8 feet up. They had knuckle walk toes and nickles only ( Try it ) they went many yards around the Gym. Finger wrestling . some very Strong small people could do fantastic stunts . Skin a seal these ladies could put every person south of the Arctic circle to shame in this and how to flesh out a caribou. It was many years ago and it still is run ever year
And the OJ Simpson 30 mile per hour Chase . This was the most comical TV i ever saw and it went on for a long time . To see it from the Helo Copter and listen to the reporter . Things are said Words the would never make it to TV.
Another was a stolen Bus chase 20 minutes . I do not know if this driver had any dirt track experience but I did not know you could put a Grey hound bus into a slide and still control if This guy was a pretty good driver till he went up a dead end street I he destroyed a lot of cars many police cars and the BIG BUS

"They like the Canadian News they say it is not as filtered as theirs is "
That is a measure of just how slanted news reportage is in the United States of America! Our news is so slanted to the left wing that I have to put books under the left legs of the tv just to keep the picture level!
