Old TV reruns and many sports events are just wasted BW as far as I am concerned.? I follow teams with which I have a connection, and record a few favorite shows for evening watching. However, as a former pilot, who lost his medical certificate many years ago, I do follow activities at the local airport.? In good weather, I visit and talk with friends who work there.? At other times, it is nice to have an eye on the place from home.? I commend the cable company for their efforts.
