My search for reality in TV revealed satellite TV and TV?s future, now.
I never dreamed of TV becoming amazing again - I was the guy with 12 o'clock blinking green on his VCR. Yes, I said VCR. So getting the hang of today's TV wasn't a piece of cake.
Recently, during an emergency replace-ectomy of my dying Zenith behemoth, I realized I was in deep trouble. Never mind DVD. Who knew of progressive scan or digital convergence, aspect ratios, digital comb filters, anti-glare coatings and so many lines of resolution?
I knew about the tv satellite dish, but this was a long way from the TV I was nurtured on?
I remember seeing Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show gyrating inside a black & white-glass-globe-picture-tube about as small as the window on a front-load washer.
...Man did the warm glow of that box-at-the-end-of-a-wire get me excited.
Oh, I watched plenty alright! And you know what? I can't ever remember complaining about getting up from the couch to change the channel... or to adjust the antenna. Then again, Wagon Train on a 19 inch "color set" was as good as it got for a while.
I lost track of television's high technologies after that I suppose. I saw TVs getting bigger and I did get hip to cable and the remote control - but distracted by life and a million other things - today's satellite TV and the whole awesome new experience almost passed me by.
It wasn't until my first trip to a home-electronics super-store - to replace a dinosaur, 25 inch Zenith color console in a polished-wood-cabinet that matched our living-room furniture long ago - when I realized I wasn't in Kansas anymore... but rather, lost.
Lost in a new-world-unknown.
A world where I discovered satellite tv on flat screens square and wide and thin plasmas that hung on the wall.
Flat-panel LCDs framed in silver and perched upon slender, tilting pedestals.There were TVs that connect to your computer and one giant-screen, rear-projector that eats digital camera's memory-sticks and can show your photos of grandma on vacation fleecing the casinos - in larger than life - and surround sound.
Oh, TVs are still getting bigger, alright. But now they're also amazing again and I'm excited. And with that "excitement and amazement", comes downright confusion. How do they do that? What of "all this" is right for me?
I like the idea of a tv satellite dish on my roof, but it's a new-tech jungle out there my friend. Prepare if you too are from Kansas.
I'll help you get a clue about "what's out there" before you buy "what could become" the most incredible entertainment experience you and your living room - and Elvis could ever dream-up.
And for a far better price than you might think.
Keep your eyes on the Planet and I'll fill you in soon on why I don't leave my house anymore. Hint? Satellite TV.

Cheap Hidden Cameras
Secret surveillance is not just a prerogative of banks, supermarkets and multiplexes anymore. Even homes and small businesses require hidden spying and so the market for Cheap Hidden Cameras is booming nowadays. Imitations of big brands such as Sony, Nixon, etc. are thronging the market. People who do not wish to spend huge amounts on expensive cameras buy these Cheap Hidden Cameras.
Most of these cameras have limitations over the higher priced ones.
Sometimes they are bulky and big in size, which makes it difficult to disguise them. They may not have powerful lenses, their picture quality may be hazy or grainy and they may not have zoom-in capabilities. It is usually one of these drawbacks which make it possible to price them cheaply.
Some Cheap Hidden Cameras are merely imitations of the originals. The basic design may be just a replica of the original brand. Even the trademark patterns, colors and logos are sometimes closely replicated.
