History International
We got Dish Network back in July when we bought our new house. The only options we had were Dish Network and DirecTV. We went with Dish Network because of the price, and DirecTV really didn’t offer anything above and beyond Dish Network to justify the additional cost. We now get more channels on the TV than I will ever want to watch.
One of the channels that we now get (that we didn’t with Adelphia) is History International. It’s a great channel. It contains historical documentaries about events from around the world. Sure, North America has a nice history to it, but we have nothing compared to Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Watching shows about events that happened more than 1,000 years before Columbus was an itch in his father’s pants totally fascinates me. Learning about Attila the Hun, ancient Egypt, the Crusades, and other bits of history are wonderful.
The one odd thing is that I must be an oddball. Most of the advertisements on History International are geared towards senior citizens. There are advertisements for AARP, oxygen, diabetes medication, balding treatments, and most other things that I won’t have to worry about for a while.
