A soccer Fan And His High Definition Television
My loved one is a huge soccer fan. He will pay the $14.99 for the HD version of the pay per view games whenever they are on. I get a little upset since I think the money is a bit outrageous for a show that only last two hours.
Nonetheless, I love my husband and if he wants HD for his games…fine. I once asked him why he didn’t want to save $10 and get the standard definition one. He informed me that the image was so much more colorful and real looking when he watched it on HD.
I decided to check this for myself since I am an avid watcher of our HDTV. I browsed some of the HD stations and found out that we had HD Discovery and TLC. I started watching my programs like “House Hunters” and “A Baby Story” on those channels instead of the regular ones.
I must admit the HD channels were much more pleasing to the eye on my HDTV than the others were. Everything was so much brighter and the color was so much truer than with the other channels.
I tried to go back to the other channels once and I just couldn’t do it. I wanted the better ones! One day my husband came into the room and without even asking he said, “I see you have finally backed down and you’re watching the better picture quality.”
I didn’t respond because I knew he was right and I should have let myself see what he meant when he just had to have the fight for $40. Sometimes you have to listen to your hubby because he really does know what he is talking about with electronics.
I am so glad that I backed down, I guess it was time. So now that I am all thrilled about this new television watching experience, my spouse told me something else that stirred me.
On February 17, 2009, all stations will be transmitting high quality signals, which mean ALL of my shows will look as great as these do. I can watch “Desperate Housewives” and “ER” in a completely new way. Anyway, the reason I am writing this is for all of you girls or guys who haven’t gave these channels a chance.
I thought there was no difference at first too but now I am hooked. It’s awesome what technology has done with televisions and I am excited to see what’s in store for us down the road!

Survey: The best football movies
„Deutschland – Ein Sommermärchen” and „The Miracle of Bern”, the audience favorites
Berlin, 07.06.2010 – While Germany dreams of a World Cup final, all the TV Stations adjust their programmes at „King Football”. Moviepilot, the largest filmcommunity of Germany (www.moviepilot.de), has made a representative survey to determine which one is the favorite football movie of the Germans. The result: „Deutschland – Ein Sommermärchen” and „The Miracle of Bern” are, by far, the favorite football movies of the nation. Sönke Wortmann’s successfull documentary about the last 2006 World Cup evokes good memories about the wonderful summer for the German National Team – the film ended up with 42% of the votes in the first place. In a tight second place, another story of Wortmann, „The Miracle of Bern”, with 41% of the votes. This emotional drama about the World Cup won in 1954 and the beneficial effect it had on the war-damaged Germany, still touches us today. The third place, with 26% of the votes, has been for the British film „Bend it like Beckham”. This inspirational comedy is about a girl who wants to be a football player and has to fight against her traditional family to fulfill her dreams.
The Top 5 Football Movies
1st: Deutschland – Ein Sommermärchen
2nd: The Miracle of Bern
3rd: Bend it like Beckham
4th: Green Street Hooligans
5th: The Wild Soccer Bunch
The details of the survey are surprising: both men and women are equally interested in football. Independently of gender, only 29% of respondents are not interested in football movies. Also in the individual evaluation of films, both gender are largely in agreement. The differences has been noticed in the assessments among young and old people. As long as for the respondents between 16 and 19 years old „Bend it like Beckham” is the clear favorite, most of the votes of respondents older than 60 are for the nostalgic „The Miracle of Bern”.
Moviepilot charged a survey to the statistic expert Statista (www.statista.com). Over 1.000 people were interviewed. They could choose from 10 classic films about football, from „The Wild Soccer Bunch” or „Goal! The Dream Begins” to „Shaolin Soccer”. Multiple answers were possible.

-
Deutschland – Ein Sommermärchen (2006) – 42%
