I have a glorious 50″ Widescreen HDTV of nothingness right now. I plugged my satellite receiver back in after the storms last night only to be met with a constant reboot cycle. I had about 30 hours of stuff recorded on the DVR including my child’s favorite show (Blue Man Group: How to Be a Rock Star Tour).

Now the moving “No Video Signal” banner taunts me as if to say “Now what, allergy boy?” “You are allergic to the entire world this time of year so getting outside isn’t feasible… now you have no satellite TV goodness. Victory is mine!”

Stupid “No Video Signal” banner.

My son is looking at the TV, and if he could talk he would be saying (with his most dissapointed face) “Daddy, why can’t the blue man come on?”

I must have a DVI-HDMI cable. I must rescue this situation. Hulu, don’t forsake me now.Come on DVD collection… ham radio, i’ll need you too. Must…entertain… self….

*end transmission*.
