Posted in Lame, Mobile, Rant on November 3rd, 2008 by adminEvery Saturday morning my cable Internet service goes out. This weekend it didn’t come back on. Of course I could just take this time to go outside or get something done around the house, but I’m (stuck) watching a PBS show about the Lincoln Highway (which is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen actually). Needless to say I’m not too happy. I feel like an island.
Obviously this situation makes this iPhone purchase a lot more key, so that makes me happy, but I miss my video podcasts. What is going on with The Daily Feed? Is that not-as-hot Allison girl hosting? Am I expected to watch NBC Nightly News on my own? When it’s really on?
My GBPVR setup is pretty much dead until the cable guy comes this week, in two days, lame. I can’t get a signal strong enough to pick up HD stations and cable sometimes records without sound. When it works it’s the greatest thing. Letteman in HD, full HD. It’s beautiful. But since I got the cable switched here nothing has worked right.
This is all because I got a shifty cable installer on the hottest day in August. He didn’t even test the cables on his own when my tv didn’t work. Of course it turns out that you have to scan the channels for about ten minutes before it picks up the first one. Now they have to come out again, which I hate.
The worst part of this is that I have to let someone in the house. I feel so violated.
