Well, I’m back in the dorm, and of course all is not as expected. I thought I’d have free basic TV, but alas, the coaxial jack appears to be cable-only, and does not lead to a rooftop antennae as hoped. For all I know, that’s not even a possibility, but it never hurts to fantasize, until you find out that the minimum cable package costs $50 a month, which is a little beyond my purse at the moment. Luckily, I think I can wire something up to improve my in-room reception, and I’m looking into some computer-based solutions that might allow me to harness the power of my room’s high speed connection (limited as it may be) . . . Lord knows, I’m grateful for the DVR I have installed at my mum’s house, so at least I can have a catching up smörgåsbord of tube time when I head back south . . .
