Apologies for off topic, but thought Jim would enjoy this:

Sunday Feb 28th, we waited to watch one of those political shows, in
which John McCain was going to elaborate for an hour. Just when the
show started, the powers that be shut off the transmitter! No signal
from a major station for one hour. Of course on the other channel was
Nancy Pelosi talking on and on. Have no idea how it's possible to
control the media so effectively.

I don't know how you managed to post this information. Your neighborhood
network monitor must have taken an unauthorized break or something. I'll
bet his supervisory commissar will hustle that guy's butt off to the
re-education camp faster than you can whistle Yankee Doodle!

Do you get MBC, Korean?

Channel 1 here has something like 12 channels in there!! Quality of
images and sound are incredibly low, but they provide local
advertising and retro shows, going waaaaay back. Very interesting
alternative to main stream.
