National Geographic Channel Headache
I love the National Geographic Channel. Unfortunately, none of my televisions do. The previous televison (which was about 25 years old) and the brand new flat-screen bought on my birthday have absolutely no problems playing any cable channel we’ve paid for — except National Geographic Channel. I’m starting to think that channel is affected by the phase of the moon.
What the Problem Is
Every few minutes into the program or commercials, the bottom of the television screen flashes white light. It does this until you click to a different channel, and then click back to National Geographic. Then, about six minutes later, it starts flashing again.
The problem is the flashes. They trigger a migraine in me. Nausea, light sensitivity, dizziness — the works. Even though I look away and change the channels as quickly as possible, there’s still enough flashing going on to make me sick. This happens every month for a couple of weeks. Then, inexplicably, for a couple of weeks, there aren’t any flashes.
So, I pay to have the National Geographic Channel for a month, but only get to see it only one or two weeks out of every month. I could call the cable company, but that tends not to do any good. They just tell you to continue taking your medication (or words to that affect).
What’s The Cause?
According to pyschic Sylvia Browne, spirits may be the reason why the television flashes whenever National Geographic Channel is on. Other signs include the phone rining and no one being on the other end of the line. Apparently, there’s a spirit in my home that just doesn’t appreciate documentaries two weeks out of the month. You try explaining that to the cable company. They just tell you to try HBO for a trial month. I’m not doing that for any nasty old ghost.
