Mine started randomly turning everything green and to turn it on (AFTER hitting the power button of course) you had to hit it HARD in the top left hand corner.
As time went on, harder and harder hits were required.
Eventually my hand would suffice no longer and I used a big rubber mallet.
Then one drunken night that mallet missed it's mark exponentially and went through the tv screen.
Now I have a much better tv.

they have a psychotic obsession with protecting "canadian culture" and making sure that we somehow don't get too much american tv and music
but stuff like the "can-con" laws designed to force broadcasters to insert regular amounts of canadian content into their channels and stations are totally fucking stupid and don't actually do what they are intending to do
in theory, can-con (short for canadian content) are supposed to make sure that burgeoning canadian musicians and television shows aren't smothered by the more popular, higher profile stuff coming out of the US
so, radio stations for example are required by law to air a certain amount of songs per hour that are either written or performed primarily by canadians, so that way the stations would be forced to find some canadian content to showcase
in reality, what happens is that new canadian artists have a massive problem with actually getting airplay in their own country. radio stations have gotten used to filling out their can-con quota by playing canadian bands that are also popular in the US (nickleback, for example) or are so well-known and beloved by so many canadians that it won't be a distracting break from normal programming (like BNL or the Tragically Hip)
there's a lot of canadian bands who basically can't get airplay on canadian radio stations until they are popular in the US first
which makes the cultural protectionism of can-con completely retarded even beyond the idiocy it exhibits as an idea by default
You mean they can't just dub in "eh" at the end of every sentence an actor speaks?

I love not having to care about missing a show because "oh, it'll be on my queue tomorrow"

That's what you guys get for hating freedom.
or liked watching tv on a tiny computer screen instead of a big old tv screen
It's just that some shows aren't good unless you can watch them from the beginning.

I use PS3 media server to watch it on my TV and it works out pretty well.

in its death throes it would just change channels at random and in no way, even if you got more, would it ever go past channel 36

But it is also awesome and has a lot of good shows at the same time.

That sounds like a magical feeling.
I played my Xbox and Gamecube on just such a TV.
The thing had a 20-something-inch screen and weighed like a million pounds.
Yes I had the pleasure of moving one with a 32 inch screen up two flights of stairs

Just checking in to let you know that no, that is not a valid function
I'd make a thread but I think having like 8 YaYa threads in the first two pages is enough
