Mongolian TV

We have a small TV in our apartment with some 40 channels. There's a bunch of Mongolian channels which are pretty undistinguishable from one another as of yet. The highlights in programming include news, talk shows (not the trashy kind), a big brotherish reality show and dubbed Desperate Housewives. There's also one or two all-music video channels. I love the videos. They usually follow a storyline with girls upset with boys or vice-versa.

We had BBC News for a while but then it just disappeared. Channels strangely move around on our TV. We also have a knowledge network in English and a Chinese movie channel that subtitles instead of dubs over English. Then there's a few random Korean, Chinese and Russian channels. Korean soaps are big here. Russian MTV is annoying.

When there's a power outage, the TV resets itself and we have to reprogram it. That's usually when channels go missing or move around. And that's when the TV reverts to black and white. For the first few weeks, we thought we had a black-and-white TV. Then we noticed the channel and volume graphics on the TV were green.

This was MC's inventory of her TV channels. Thanks and good night.
