"Interstellar Box Office is an umbrella corporation of Old Earth HoBO, itself owned by AboutTimeWarnedYou Cable. Oddly, despite the widespread devastation caused by the Catastrophe and our inability to communicate with the home planet, cable channels are still available (although installation of a cable box will take anywhere from thirty to fifty cycles and you should be available to let the cable person in between 8 am and 10 pm)."
