So I bought one of those bloody boxes. You know, the ones that crouch atop your TV like a cubist owl and hoot zeros and ones. And I got a highly recommended one -- an Apex Blah Blah Blah. It seems to work pretty well. But here's the bloody thing.
When you scan, you scan. I mean. You get the stations a given scan finds. YOU CANNOT ADD STATIONS.
What this means is that you adjust your antenna one way, and when you scan, you'll get a set of stations favored by the antenna setting.
But then you realize you're missing PBS, or the Spanish soaps. So you change the antenna so those come in -- and you rescan.
Hot diggidy dog, now you got PBS and the Spanish soaps -- but you're missing other things!
I've seen complaints by others on the web about this. How can this even be a product? I mean, Duh-uh!!!
I'm so angry I could cuss in binary.
