Thread: Finally! A use for Moov!

Well, I FINALLY found a use for Moov. You know, that boring good-looking bandwidth hog. Anyway, we had my 19 month old son downstairs in the home theater (where I have Voom installed) and my wife flipped through the channels. She saw that Tank HD was on Moov (the only worthwhile thing I've seen on this channel) and she turned it on knowing my son just loves fish (it was his first word...believe it or not). Anyway, he normally pays absolutely no attention to a tv which is on. Not at home, not in daycare/school, not anywhere. He dropped what he was doing and sat there and watched Tank HD! He was captivated!

My wife and I both were amazed. He just sat there and watched the tank and kept saying, "Fish!" Whenever a big fish would swim by he'd scream with excitement and SCREAM, "FISH!" I just couldn't believe it. I guess we've got to get a tank now.

Anyway, Moov is good for one thing--keeping the attention of a 19 month old boy...

Wait until he trys to get the FISH from the screen with messy hands or trys to climb onto the TV to see where they are...... all things toddlers do. When my son was a toddler he just about pulled over our 20 gallon tank of FISH. Needless to say the tank had to go.....

Dont talk bad about Dolan.

Luckily, the tv is in the home theater, which is in the basement. He's in bed by 8-8:30 every night and he rarely comes down with us. We've sort of done this on purpose as I don't want him becoming like so many other kids who are addicted to tv. My wife and I don't really watch all that much tv and I watch mainly sports and documentaries so I'm not ashamed of what I do watch.

He doesn't pay attention to tvs in other places--at least not yet so it's been working so far...

Has anyone seen the Lionel Train MOOV segment? That was pretty cool. I've always had a thing for trains since I saw Risky Business

I love TankHD ...I think its a great move for MOOV.

Rickster, what size TV do you have? My cat likes to sit next to me in my HT and stare at the screen, I should put Tank on and see what he does, except I'm afraid he'd jump up on the screen and rip it to shreds.
