Digitizing

So, digital TV is supposed to be the wave of the future, much better than the TV you grew up with. I'm not terribly impressed. I don't know if this is just an Ocracoke/island thing, or if it happens everywhere, but the digital TV broadcast keeps locking up tonight. Sometimes the picture just freezes, and other times it digitizes, breaking up into squares which then move around and create odd patterns. The audio always stops. (Usually, of course, just as the person on the show was about to say something fascinating or funny.) We never had any issues like this with plain old cable. (We did occasionally lose the broadcast completely, getting this messageinstead.)

Okay, enough whining. Maybe God is trying to tell me to go outside more instead of watching the darn "idiot box"!
