English Music Quest

The good thing about both MTV and Channel V from 2002 till 2006 was that they used to show only English music at night/late night. And that programming during 2002-2006 was excellent according to me. Probably some westerner had decided for the same. Now, post late 2006 Indians decide what songs to be shown and it *cks. It *cks so much that I have stopped watching those Indian music channels. I even consider 9XO and VH1 India as "Indian channels".
While I was at Chennai 2002-03, I used to watch music but not on Tv. I used to watch in Yahoo Music on the internet in cyber cafes. And according to me it was great. It was great because the content was controlled from abroad and not India. In Bengaluru, the trend of watching on the net continued and I accessed blastro, youtube, NRJ, dailymotion and the like to watch music videos.
In Bengaluru, post 2007, I came across a program called "Rage" on Australia Network channel. Actually in November 2006, I made a trip to Chennai and stayed at a place where I had stayed during 2003. The place was totally renovated. What earlier was a dilapidated place was in 2006 a centrally air conditioned hotel with TV in every room. I went by bike to Chennai and stayed for a night. Morning I got up and flipped through the channels and I came across Rage on Australia network.
Initially in 2007, in Bengaluru our cable operator did not show Australia Network. Later he showed and I regularly watched rage. I even used to record the Rage program using TV Tuner. Once my laptop crashed while setting up the TV tuner and that made me to purchase desktop in May 2008. When BBC was blocked on cable, I fitted Dish Tv. But since there was no Australia Network on Dish TV , I got cable fitted along with Dish TV cable in August 2008.
It continued. Our cable operator at old address in Bengaluru also gave a 'digital set top box' and I got Australia Network through that. In December 2010, our cable operator blocked Australia Network for reasons unknown. Since we were soon to shift to new place I did not work with him and returned the set top box. In February 2011, we shifted to new place in Bengaluru. Our cable operator at new place did show Australia Network.
-Will continue above later-
Meanwhile today I have watched 2 movies. Both movies on Videocon D2H.
First movie "Mumbai Salsa". Too good movie. Shows relationships ultra-modern style.
Second movie "Agent Vinod". It is Illuminati movies. Like the banner of the same name it definitely looks like it is made by the Illuminati. There is a small Illuminati in the movie as well. "Illuminati" in the sense, they want the movie made in a certain way so that their view is perpetuated.
