While I never have been to an AA meeting, I often imagine myself jumping you and shouting to the heavens "my name is Bill Barnett and I like TV. "

Island living is great but me time and unwinding from all those emails, SMS's, Skypes and BB's that mindless activity can be alluring.

While UBC TrueVisions remains my current choice, the Thailand launch of media conglomerate GMM Grammy with their big black box has been delayed until the new year back of the recent floods.

Otherwise in the neighborhood swear by local cable and a handful of other satellite providers also install directly to homes.

For me the more the merrier and the recent surge in new offerings only leads to a greater temptation.

DO YOU LIKE THIS?

Are you on crack? Bill Barnett responds:
No, perhaps I over caffeinated when I wrote this.
