For a change, I am going to write about something other than Leona! But keep those prayers coming on her behalf (and ours)-we may have had a bit of a breakthrough. At this point, I think it's too early to tell so I will fill in the details in a few days! Today, I am writing about some awesome alternatives to cable TV and all those movies that you want to watch but...well, they just aren't appropriate. A few years back, we decided to cancel our cable TV. We found a wonderful alternative to it called Sky Angel, which at that time was a satellite based company with Christian programming. They have since turned into IPTV-Internet TV, brought to you through your cable modem. They offer 2 different packages, a faith package for 14.99 per month which includes about 30 TV channels and 20 radio channels and a family package for 19.99 per month which includes channels like Fox news, Hallmark, Discovery and a few sports channels. You can get both packages together for 24.99 per month. This is a wonderful alternative to mainstream TV with many Christian channels. I still need to tell the kids they can't watch certain things and I don't really like the evolution viewpoint presented on Discovery channel but it is FAR better than what we had with cable. There are many good creation science shows on also and many Christian movies and worshp services. It has been a blessing to our family. Find out more at www.skyangel.com. A few years ago, we rented edited DVD's but the companies are no longer allowed to edit the movies because they got sued. Now, there is a great alternative called Clear Play. We got one of these for Christmas and it is great! It's a DVD player that filters the movies while you watch them. See more at www.clearplay.com . You download the filters onto a USB stick and plug it into the DVD player. It's great! Of course, even with the filtering, some movies still aren't appropriate for children (or even adults for that matter!). We all joked about how some movies would probably be only about 15 minutes long when all the "bad" things were cut out! |
