Gone!

Don't it always seem to go, you don't know what you got 'till it's gone... if you guessed "Joni Mitchell", you win 50 bonus points.  For clarification, the bonus points are not redeemable for anything, but they are yours to keep, and you can accumulate them.  ;-)

For years, we have had Distant Networks through our Dish set up.  Because we travel a lot, and are often in areas where local networks are not available with an over-the-air TV antenna, we could get east coast and west coast network feeds.  The advantage of this was the option of watching the same program at different times... i.e. we could watch the Tonight Show at 8:30 on the east coast feed while we were in the San Juan Islands (west coast).  Or, if two good network shows were on at the same time, we could watch one at the normal time and watch the other at an earlier or later time with the other coast feed.

Well, Distant Networks has shut down... not enough business to keep them going.  Bad news for RVers who are in the boonies.  Yes, I know: a first world problem.  ;-)  We have gone for months at a time with little or no TV on the boat before we started using the VuQube on that (as well as in the RV).  There are two "standards" in our TV viewing: The Today Show and The Tonight Show.

And, we were just getting used to Jimmy Fallon.  ;-)

Not an issue when we are in a populated area (like currently in Phoenix); but when spending a season in places like Grand Teton National Park or the San Juan Islands (where over-the-air networks aren't available) it is a change.

Oh, my goodness... I'm becoming my Mother.  It had been a joke in our family... my Mother came home from the hospital after surgery one time, and apparently one of my sisters had pressed something on her TV remote and messed up her cable.  When I asked my Mother if there was anything she needed, she said, "Fix my God-damn cable TV!"

She always had a way with words.
