You are not the only one. I thought the same thing when my kids were a 
little peeved that they didn't get the extra channels in their bedrooms that 
the main cable box set receives. How do you explain to a kid that has 
multiple 24 hour cartoon channels that "When I was growing up we had exactly 
three to choose from. No, not three cartoon channels, just three channels at 
all." They look at me like I'm dumb and go play a LAN game on the computers 
in their rooms. Spoiled? Doesn't quite cover it. Is there a worse word?
