It easy to break it down to option A and B when yuh living abroad but it not so simple.
It is not nice to insult all of us down here saying we like it so.
1) You cannot get local channels on Direct TV so no news, gayelle, synergy, win tv etc. that alone is a bonus for flow.
2) Direct TV in TT comes from the latin american feed so most of the programming is in spanish
3) CNC3 a local newsstation and tv6 have the rights to most sporting events in TT WC, Under 17 etc and EPL games. see point 1 above.
4) We in the caribbean, we have rainy season for 6 months of the year....flow does not have "Searching for Satellite signal" when it rains.
5) Flow cheaper
So the above are 5 reasons why we in Trinidad like it and stick with option "A"
Lets sing along shall we..."If better can't be done...let the worse continue"
Yuh know what, Touches, I may live abroad, but I was only repeating a phrase I grew up hearing in T&T lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllong before I left to be here. So if any of you feel insulted, from a statement coming from overseas, know that that same statement was born and bred at home, like me.
We get thunderstorms and bad weather here in the us, as well.....the weather is REALLY not that big an issue as far as MY own experience has proven. Also, thare are still MANY people at home that, in spite of your 5 reasons, have become so fed-up with flow and their BS, that they have done what they can to: "SEND A MESSAGE" ..........They subscribe to DirectTv. I can get my news from the Express and Guardian. I know that change is not the easiest thing to bring about, but waiting for it is going to take longer for it to come than demanding it.
Troy, living abroad does not change the fact that I have and the vast majority of my life as well as having most of my family still living in T&T. Living abroad does not make one or any particular person so detached from one's culture as to be clueless. Stop fightin' up yourself. Besides, we would all do well to learn more spanish.
