Why I'm a paying member of my public tv station:

was channel surfing just now, and came upon this messages on my tv screen (and I quote):

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!!!
This is one of those really rare events,
where the digital server thingy
is not speaking to the picture decoding thingy
so we're pushing all the fixit buttons...
Please stand by...

Gotta love those guys -- they say it like it is!
