More ads?
A few little bitz to ponder this weekend:
As if Comcast didn’t have enough money, power, cache — whatever — now the company is putting ads on its digital cable guide. Have you noticed them at the bottom of your screen? They are quite annoying. I don’t need to know that “Hope & Faith� can now be seen on the Women Entertainment channel.
Speaking of the cable giant, did anyone notice that one of the INHD channels recently disappeared and was replaced by the National Geographic channel in HD?
UPDATE: According to a Comcast spokesman, INHD itself decided not to offer a second channel so Comcast replaced it with NG in HD. Which begs the question: How many other HD channels does Comcast have up its sleeve?
One final HD item: With the television industry shoving cheap flatscreen high-def TV’s our way, isn’t it about time cable and satellite providers – along with networks – provide us with more than 25-30 channels in HD?
If you haven’t heard, Nintendo has to replace 3.2 million straps on those nifty controllers of theirs. Apparently, they are flying all over the place. I didn’t have any problems holding onto my controller, but I can see how some might struggle.
Is anyone else watching ABC “Primetime’s Basic Instinct� series? Pretty cool stuff. The newsmagazine keeps putting people in odd situations to see how they would react. Gotta love the hidden camera.
Catch a young and innocent Lindsay Lohan tonight in 1998’s “The Parent Trap,� which airs at 9 on the Disney Channel.
Now that Tom Brady is single, I bet you a million bucks rumors about him and Jessica Simpson begin soon. She’s the perfect rebound girl, Tom.
Have a good one and welcome to Boston, Dice-K.
