Ain't it grand? Like the other guy said, I think it assumes you're going to get the local channels from DirecTV.

We have the same feeling here when watching footbal games. We have to start a non-home team game about 50 minutes before it ends, because with the 30 second skip between plays, that's how long it takes to watch a whole game. And it's all in Hi-Def! Woohoo!
