It’s been a few weeks since I returned from the Consumer Electronics Show, but I haven’t written about it because, well, I haven’t written about much of anything lately, but also because there was just nothing to write about from a FTA perspective. No cool breakthroughs. No updated receivers. Zilch.

I take that back. I saw a few FTA receivers, but they were all in those office-cubicle booths that make up the international section. The receivers were being shown by Asian manufacturers, looking to hook up with a North American company to rebrand them. I didn’t hear of anyone making such an FTA deal with them, at least not during the show.

CES was fun despite the lack of FTA materials. It was so noisy and crowded that when I left the show floor and walked over to the Las Vegas Hilton’s casino area, it seemed quiet and calming. The best "handout" that I picked up at the show was from the GoDaddy booth, where they swiped my badge to email me a free domain name. I used it to add FTAMovies.com, which takes you directly to the FTAList Movies and Sports page.

Anyway, sorry for my prolonged absence here. You’ll hear more from me soon.
