For a word on television. There are no TVs, phones or anything like that in the three tree houses. We do have, in our house, satellite TV. What do we get? Pretty much the same fare that we got back home. However, on the satellite system down here, the shows are typically on whatever network is the producer of the show. There is no CBS, ABC or NBC. There is a Fox, and we get plenty of Simpsons (three to four episodes nightly, woo-hoo!!). So, "The Mentalist" is on the Warner Channel, as it's produced by Warner Brothers. The same with "Cold Case", while "Law and Order" is on the Universal Channel. It's been a while for the Sony network, as there's not a lot of new stuff on there, it seems.
It can be a challenge to try to find a show. Most of the shows are delayed from when they're shown in the States. We love "The Amazing Race" and it's on the AXN network down here (no idea what that stands for), but was running about six weeks behind the episodes on CBS back home. We just saw the finale yesterday. We do get TNT (only movies, none of the series--those are on other channels); ESPN and ESPN2 (primarily soccer--ugh); CNN International; Fox News (though there are no commercials, just news fillers); the American Network (loads of Dr. Phil, Oprah, Rachael Rae, etc., which Lucy loves); also the Discovery Channel, National Geographic and the Biography Channel.
One bonus: We do get the NFL Network, which will come in very handy when autumn rolls around, if for nothing else than highlights.
