We watch a lot of TV via the little Android box. It uses our broadband Internet connection. Actually, in fact, we watch all television over IP as our regular programming also comes via Telus, our Internet provider.
So, it no longer strikes me as unusual that we were able to watch the Kandy Perahera live this morning directly from one of the main Sri Lankan television channels. As the time there is 12 1/2 hours ahead of Vancouver, we caught the night time celebration at 9 AM.
It might be worth noting that when we got to British Columbia twenty years ago, we rocked a 56K dial-up fax/modem.
