Hello, we have HDTV.

The step-daughter is watching The O.C. on FOX. It’s one of the few television shows that is broadcast in HDTV and she’s watching the regular broadcast. I’m in shock and ask her why she’d want to watch the “crappy” version of the show—the version that isn’t in widescreen with Dolby Digital sound.

I received a simple shrug and a brief explanation that it’s too much work to go all the way up to channel 800 (where the HDTV programming is). Hmm, is it just me or is anyone else suprised that some people don’t use the number buttons on television remotes?

At first I was laughing about the number thing then I starting thinking sometimes we don’t want to see things too clearly. Not being a watcher of The O.C. I wondered if there was anything but a crappy version? Maybe a clearly crappy version or a fully surrounded loud crappy version?

Just wonderin

Take Care

I personally don’t watch The O.C. but from what I’ve read lately, the show is starting to crumble. Crappy? Definitely arguable.
