DIS Dads DDC XIV - It's a trap!!!

[AirGoofy]

Now you are quoting yourself? I know it is a slow night in here...

Yup. I guess all have better things to do.

I am following along with the football game in another tab on si.com. Nice to see the Lions making a game of it.

Did you know you can watch it live on your computer at nbcsports.com?

We only have a DVR in the living room which as the HDTV. I refuse to watch sports on the other TVs in my house. I think I need a 37'' for our bedroom so I can 'get away' from time to time.

We've got a 37" flat screen in the Great Room, which is the primary family TV. The 56" DLP hooked up to the surround sound system is in my mancave in the basement. It's a special treat when the kids get to come downstairs and watch it.

We had a 13" TV in the bedroom until it blew up several years ago. It was really cool when DW turned it on (with remote) and I saw the flash and some smoke. She also blew up the microwave and food processor this Christmas. She is an appliance killer.

I would like to upgrade to HD when these TVs finally blow. In my travels, I have watched the sports on the flat screen HD TV and they are superb. I made the mistake of watching the pre-game show in HD and could count the eye wrinkles on Steve Young and forehead wrinkles on Trent Dilfer. I had to change it off the HD ESPN. Scary.

I could. But I'm giving my primary attention to the basketball game. I can check the si.com tab and get a quick update on the score, possession, and time remaining. Basketball game will be over soon. I'll probably watch most of the 4th quarter of the football game live.

Nice! I have a 46'' LED with surround in our living room which we use as our primary tv.

Do your kids have a special password to get down to the basement?

Oh man, that is funny!

I can't watch non-HD anymore. If I put a show on and it's not HD I switch it. Sports are excellent in HD with football being at the top of the list.

I figured you knew.... but I typed it anyway. Guess I'm just trying to up my post count.(not that anyone would do that here)

Both mine are 30 or 32 inch. The one is a "flat screen" in the big TV console. The other has a round screen. I'm having size envy.

No password. But no one but me understands how the system works. Some might call that a design flaw. I call it self defense.

I have a 32'' 'flat screen' JVC in the basement and a 27' curved screen in our bedroom. Seems like the bedroom TV only plays Phineas & Ferb at 6:40 in the morning.

My mom was babysitting for us last week for 2 hours. When I came home she was sitting in the living room in dead silence. I asked her what she was doing. She said 'Absolutely, nothing. I couldn't figure out the TV.'

If my DD was here she would of showed her grandma how to work everything. LOL

Pretty much what I was thinking too Chris. Early next week.

My MIL says the same thing anytime she comes for a visit. It's even worse now, with the new Bluray / surround system I bought us for Christmas. I'm still learning it - there's no way she ever would!

We don't have cable, or satellite or anything like that - just basic basic stuff. But we have a 42" flat screen in the living room, and our older 27" analog with converter box in our bedroom. We watch more dvds that actual television, but with the new bluray player, I can now get tv over the internet on it, so I might watch a little more actual tv than before. Might. Time will tell.

LOL. My mom is the same way. They upgraded to DSL last year and had never used the internet. My girls will try to explain YouTube to her. She has no clue.

Getting ready to head out to an overnight lock-in of laser tag with my boys and the Scouts. Fun, fun, fun! So excited. I love laser tag. I love my boys, and I love our Scout Troop. Midnight to 6 am, with unlimited pizza, breadsticks and soft drinks. 50 game tokens each for the arcade, and lots of fun and laughs with the boys and the adults. Have a great night guys.
