When we talk to the reps. we have to explain that we aren't getting even the basic channels, so we only have about 15.
So when I travel and end up in a hotel, it is surprising that I can't find a channel that isn't running some show that revolves around someone running around with a gun. I think some of the channels are 24 hour cheesy westerns only.
So maybe it is like the old saying, if your only tool is a hammer (or gun) every problem is a nail (bad guy).
