> Television adepts must be out there in some form, and I bet they'd have
all sorts of stuff going on with that phenomena.  (ooo... and watching
channels of static until words appear, and other cool bits)

Or fliping through channels quickly so that single words from different
programs form coherent messages. Or spying on someone, getting all the
highlights from a day of his/her life packed into a thrilling (or not so
thrilling) hour-long episode. Or getting a hint on how to deal with
something by switching into a random show, which just happens to be about an
almost identical problem.. Or when in danger calling for a commercials
breake - everything freezes for a couple of minutes and the adept can think
of a way to get out of the mess.

Yes, there's definitelly potential for a school of magick here. Perhaps the
adepts could have a reputation for "seing everything and knowing
everything".

And this all reminded me of when I was a kid and used to sit in front of the
TV watching static. After few moments of staring at the swirling dots I was
able to see colors appearing in weird patterns. The funny thing is it was a
black & white TV set.
