Hyphenated-Time-Waster
First of all high definition is way better then I thought it would be. It not only looks awesome, but many of the standard channels offer addition channels via the new hyphenated channel system, which is weird but awesome. Our local public station, WTTW, offers three more channels, and two of them are in English! In addition to WTTW (11-2), there is WTTW Create (11-3), which shows tons of awesome cooking shows, This Old House, Ask This Old House and Bob Ross, and the best is WTTWD (11-1), the D stands for digital. To sum up this "new" PBS station its like, to exaggerate, every time I turn it on there is a scene of zooming through the Grand Canyon, or like an awesome scene of wild life in their habitat all in High Def! This channel alone is responsible for the loss of countless hours, which I've excused by saying that its educational.
This new TV also entertains our Little Kitty, who just started watching TV for the first time. You can guess she really likes WTTWD when the animals are on, but she'll watch people too. Its weird.
I can only hope that the end of this novelty in partnership with learning when the awesome nature shows are on in high def will help me return to my more disciplined use of the TV.
