Today's class was meeting in a classroom with a TV set at the front. "The television may have been one of the more remarkable things you found in your common room upon your arrival here," Steve said. Or they might have wondered why there weren't holograms. He didn't know. He explained briefly how TV actually worked, keeping his explanation as simplistic as possible, and then demonstrated how to use a remote control.

"Now, you may have heard the joke about two hundred channels--although the dorm TVs get far more than that--and nothing on, but I want to assure you that's not true, unless the TV is malfunctioning and stuck on the Yuletide log again. Our TVs get broadcasts from all over the multiverse, for one thing, so there's usually something that might strike your fancy, and even on standard cable television, there is, twenty-four hours a day, programming ranging from sports to dramas to documentaries. There are whole channels dedicated to game shows, music, and even one just for old Westerns. While I don't encourage spending all your time in front of the television--it's important to stay active--it is available, and can be very entertaining." Steve was a fan of meta for Grey's Anatomy, himself.

"Now, I'd like for everyone to share with the class one thing they've learned about TV--besides what I just told you--since coming to Fandom, and then you can spend the rest of the class period experimenting with the remote." Anyone who 'accidentally' accessed porn would be in trouble.
