Create a Movie Theater at Home With Satellite TV

October 26th, 2010 by

Going to the movies these days is expensive. Prices to see an evening movie have increased dramatically in the last ten years to upwards of ten dollars a ticket. Concession stand prices have also skyrocketed; making a family trip to the cinema cost almost a hundred dollars for everyone to get their ticket along with sodas and popcorn. Some attribute the rise in cost to inflation and others attribute it to movie piracy and the accessibility of films for free online. Whatever the case may be, the fact of the matter is that regular family movie trips are just not affordable nowadays, especially in the current economy.

October 26th, 2010 by

“Go outside and get some exercise. You’ve been sitting in from of the television for too long!” can often be heard from parents urging their young children to get some fresh air instead of vegetating in front of the tube all afternoon long. However, while exercise is indeed necessary for the health and development of children, the television may not be the evil that simply rots the cerebral matter of children. Rather, exposing your children to the right programs offered by satellite television can in fact help them learn and provides them with exciting and interesting information.
