cable is nuts nowadays. Its been some years but I worked at a place that had I think basic in the break room. all reality tv and the commercial breaks were longer than snippets of the shows. It was crazy. There are over the air digital channels showing reality tv and the ads are no more than the other channels which are definately less than half the show time and im pretty sure a fair bit less. 100% every cable channel I saw at that workplace had more commecial than show.

I have the DVD set of the Thin Man movies! I love them! Just pure Hollywood fun!

Interestingly enough, the Thin Man story in books is about a jewel thief that ends up in prison for years after he is caught. And then dies shortly after his release as a broken and penniless man. But that wouldn't sell as a movie at all I guess.

How are you liking it? I get a handful of channels off a set of cheap hoop/rabbit ears hooked direct to the TV, but I've been thinking about sticking a decent antenna up in the attic and an hdhomerun on a shelf in my rack (then add it to Jellyfin). I'm also a little concerned about investing that money and effort just to have the stations around here switch to DRM shortly after. I'm in the states and, as I understand, they haven't been able to get approval for DRM decoding on their devices. Meanwhile there's some chance of DRM becoming standard/mandatory(?) for OTA TV within the next year or so.

Same setup, with the Extend model so I can record one show while I watch another (or record both). It's been like 8 years and the thing still gets a couple of firmware updates a year. Solid investment.
