There are many perks to living way out in the countryside: you get to enjoy the fresh air, the peace and quite of your surroundings, and a generally healthier kind of lifestyle. With these kinds of benefits, it is no surprise that millions of people across the nation are currently trying to (or at least making plans to) leave the city behind and head out into the vast rural expanses that the United States has to offer. Yet anyone that has lived in the city for long enough is going to find it difficult to leave certain commodities behind, such as their home television service with hundreds of channels and all the latest and greatest features. Some people think that it’s a choice between that and living in the countryside, yet that is not true-not by a long shot. As we will see below, thanks to satellite TV it is […]

Alec Baldwin was born Alexander Rae Baldwin III to a Long Island family of Irish roots in April of 1958, eventually becoming the oldest of four brothers – Stephen, William, and Daniel. All of the Baldwin brother went into acting, but Alec has had the most successful career. Most actors – male and female – usually take on a certain kind of role, either dramatic or comedic. Can you imagine Kate Winslet doing a romantic comedy? What about Seth Rogan in a dramatic, period piece? Usually, when these attempts to cross over between genres are made, they are not received as well as the actors making them would have hoped. Daniel Day-Lewis, for example, received lukewarm reviews when he started as Guido Contini in the movie version of the Broadway musical Nine, despite the all-star cast (including Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, and Judy Dench). It was just hard […]

With the invention of satellite TV, the number of channels on offer for television watchers has absolutely exploded, ballooning from a few basic networks into hundreds upon hundreds of movie networks, cable spin-off channels, and niche-interest stations. One of the most popular kinds of specialty channels that has emerged in this new era of television watching is the cooking channel, and along with it, the cooking show. You know what this is – it is when a celebrity chef of some sort spends an hour showing Americans how to cook a French-style ratatouille, pick the perfect avocado, or dice garlic with ultimate speed and precision, all in high definition. Often, the show and/or chef who hosts it will have some kind of theme – French or Italian cooking, for example, or family meals, or vegetarian fare. The chefs, if they are not already famous, become known around the country – […]

It used to be that going to the local movie theater was definitely the better choice as far as watching films was concerned. After all, nothing could compare with the big-screen feel of a feature presentation, especially back when snacks were reasonably priced and it was possible to find parking on a Friday and Saturday night. But these days, the world of theater-going and the world of at-home entertainment are changing so rapidly that it’s tough to figure out what the best bet actually is. With gigantic high definition television sets that don’t take up too much space or cost a fortune, there is a lot more incentive to stay home, rather than spend a ton on going to see a sub-par movie somewhere a half-hour away.

By now it is pretty common knowledge that when you choose a satellite television subscription you are choosing to get more of everything you associate with a quality television service. After all, there could only be this sort of a resounding explanation behind the millions of new satellite subscriptions that are occurring each and every year in the United States and abroad. The most effective selling points in this regard would certainly have to be the expanded sports coverage, the longer lineup of high def channels, and the greater availability of foreign programming that come along with choosing satellite television over cable.

When it comes to the ways people spend their time at home, in front of the television set is definitely a major part of life. And while people might be moving to their computers and splitting the difference, entertainment hours at home for the whole family usually do involve the television set. Even in homes with restrictions on how much television children can consume, getting together to watch something education like “Planet Earth” or enjoying a film in the evening after homework is completed is a common activity. And for more active television households, there may be longer stretches of time spent with remote in hand and the volume turned up.
