When you've spent hours setting up a custom channel list at Titan TV that includes all the stations you can get, mapped to the channel numbers as they show up on your receiver - and when you even include channels you know you'll NEVER watch, just because you can get receive them!
When at least once a day you wonder when someone's going to come out with an affordable (under $300) receiver that can receive FTA HDTV, 4:2:2 and 8PSK signals, and convert AC3 audio to stereo so you don't need a separate sound system just for the odd AC3 audio station (is there currently a standalone receiver that does ANY of those things at a reasonable price?).
When you not only watch network shows off of distant stations, but get considerable satisfaction out of doing so because your crappy locals interrupt network programming for the slightest little thing, like a dark cloud going over a far corner of their viewing area.
When you decide which shows to watch according to whether they are on FTA satellite or not.
When you cringe and get depressed every time you hear an announcement from the FCC regarding HDTV, because you wonder how soon it's going to turn all your beautiful equipment into boat anchors!
When you've seen ever recent episode of Outer Limits and Twilight Zone, just because they are on so many FTA stations at so many different times that you'd have to be trying really hard to miss an episode.
When you've seen more games of a particular sports team than your home team, but you hesitate to say the team name in an open forum in case their engineer is reading.
When you choose to live 15 miles out of town just so nobody will hassle you about your dishes - and you keep notes on every illegal thing you see your neighbors do, just so you will have blackmail material in case they ever try to make trouble for you about having too many dishes!
