Never underestimate the time it takes to get anything done…still, we have made major inroads into the expansion of TV viewing options in the Hachie Gal and Budman’s home. As noted in the title, while not all of the glitches have been worked out, we are quickly approaching the finish line where we can actually watch English-Language programming in our apartment.
Successes include:
* The new German flat screen works.
* The Swiss all-region DVD player works with the new German flat screen TV.
* The German flat screen will pick up both a PAL and an NTSC signal (needed for watching TV in the US) so when we return home, we can use the TV there (although a converter box will be required – minor issue).
* The Taiwan flat screen is now in the master bedroom – YES!
* The new satellite dish has been mounted on the tripod stand on the balcony, is fairly obscured from view, and is picking up a signal. The installation process was effortless and mostly painless.
So, what is the hitch? Well, we are only picking up about 20% of the programs we should be getting through satellite. We do see a number of viable US programs and sports that we will have access to, so the drought of TV is almost over….
