Yup, during the holiday times Channel 9 always goes to fireplace mode...It'll be like that till the new year if I'm not mistaken. REALLY annoying, cuz it's something my aunt puts on all her TVs when we are over during the Christmas break.

Apparently it's channel 18 in Edmonton...I'm surprised Bell hasn't phoned me to offer the fireplace for like $5 a month if I sign up for a 10 year contract.

I demand that Shaw dedicates one of its HD channels to the fireplace.

I have an odd habit of watching that channel whenever I pass it. I don't know why I just get a kick out of a couple of burning logs. I actually came to realize it isn't a continual loop but rather they have repeats of burning logs.

Very few highlights though.

Rumour has it that the government is subsidizing it in order to meet their Kyoto requirements.

yup, you hear some weird shuffling and then BAM some pale hand chucks a log onto the fire. This morning he dropped it and had to put it back in (I do not watch this thing around the clock, was just flipping through and watched the guy change the logs)
