You are sitting at home, watching TV, and while your show is entertaining you, outside weather is getting worse. It starts raining, wind is getting stronger, but your Satellite Antenna is doing its work as if it is a sunny quiet day. This is experience of most people that enjoy satellite TV; Smooth reception no matter what weather it is outside. (Of course an hurricane that can destroy your house may be capable of moving your satellite dish as well.) Bad weather doesn’t do much to Satellite antenna reception. But sometimes your antenna can loose reception completely and generally there are some obvious reasons for it that you can solve your self very quickly: No Satellite TV but Free Coffee You come home from work, sit down in couch switch on TV and your Satellite TV Receiver and…..

| | That May Well Be True Written by Joel Hirschhorn, (Variety)
Peter - Josh WeinsteinJoy - Erin Quinn PurcellRussell - Daniel Milder Jay Reiss' "That May Well Be True," making its world premiere at Hudson Mainstage, is an angry and penetrating exploration of friendship ruined by resentment and jealousy. Reiss has a knack for writing hostile confrontations and charging every scene with suspense. But production is also clearly intended to be humorous, and author's witty lines would be funnier if directed in a freer, less sober style. Adversarial tension is sparked when novelist Peter (Josh Weinstein) fights a plagiarism lawsuit instituted by his old pal Russell (Daniel Milder), a former drug addict. Russell had wild experiences in Mexico that Peter utilized for a new bestseller, and he wants $700,000 of fee promised to Peter for his screenplay of novel. When Peter shows up unexpectedly at Russell's Westchester apartment to hash out problem, lifetime grievances are aired that aggravate their bitterness. Prominent in mix is Russell's roommate Joy (Erin Quinn Purcell), an economist who has been hired to counsel an Indian ashram on how to increase its profits. Russell amusingly defines their relationship as similar to a marriage ("We eat together, we bicker in front of friends, and we don't have sex"). Portraying Peter, Weinstein conveys right blend of integrity and self-interest. Milder is a courageous, high-strung actor, and his Russell is a realistic portrait of self-destruction. What upsets balance in contest between two is his exasperating, unlikable attitude: It's hard not to repudiate him even when his viewpoints are justified. An occasional inspired line ("If it wasn't for me, you'd still be listening to Phil Collins and defending it") softens him, but it's not enough to make us care about his fate.
