This summer, I went back to my country house with my junior daughter, and the day was a "Owari-monogarai(last half) on the air.

My country house was is the local area, and I knew that the program was not broad casted in the area.

I sent her "Unfortunately, we should watch it on the Internet", and she replied "BS11 is not available is it?" to me.

This her unnecessary phrase lighted my fire.

At my country house, Not BS wave but only the surface wave is delivered from cable TV line. Because there is no need of BS channels for my parents.

------

I could use BS11 channel during only the period of our homecoming, I came to think that

"I will install BS antenna only for the airtime, temporary"

(Permanent installment might annoy my parent when I don't stay at the country house)

For the first time, I bought a BS antenna from Amazon.com, and tried to check the connectivity of connectors and cables. Because I wanted to try it before the real installment.

In addition, the time we would arrive at the country house was just before four hours to start the TV program.

With a big parabola antenna whose diameter is 45 centimeters, I rode on an automobile, train and Shinkansen-express.

I came to think "How foolish I am", however, I also know by myself that "connection activity" is like my hobby.

No matter how much I tried, I could not confirm the BS signal detection from the TV, and it came to be in vain after all.

-----

However I have no intention to give it up.

At the next homecoming, I will continue the "connection test" even if I break out the cable at my house, and get the the TV turner.

Though I don't like the words of "kizuna(bond)" and "connect to friends around the world!"

I am a party who insists on "connection studies / manual studies" in the compulsory education process.
