****ing Cable Guy...
 

The freaking cable did not show up when he was supposed to , so gues who isn't getting the interent today? I'm calling tomorrow and really gonna lay into these peopl. i want free installation, and a dam discount now.

hahaha u tell em danielle!

when the cable guy stood us up we got a free month.

that's why I did my own install, they just had to remove the block at the street

so wait he was late, or he didn't show up at all? Guess not at all if you're that upset, that blows... Cable companies blow... My cable box in my bedroom got shut off for no reason, the tech guy came out and I told him I called and they sent a signal to my cable box, and he asked if I unplugged it too, and I said yes, and he goes "Alright, let me go get you a new one in the van." So just because for whatever reason the cable company turned it off, he sent me a new one and had them send a signal to it and it was fine since.

I didn't know they still had cable boxes

really? Yeah, I use Comcast here... they have digital cable, which is what we have the cable box for..

same here

all digital cable uses a box, and will for the forseable future unless the fcc starts actually enforcing their laws, the tv's are capable of receiving the signals but the cable companies are yet to comply with the order to use the cable cards, that way they make 20 bucks a box a month, and another 5 bucks a remote

Ahh, I don't watch much tv so I have just normal cable.

you will have digital soon, all the cable companies like stealing money by "upgrading" to the same signal with more encription

I knew the FCC was forcing everyone to go digital in the near future but I didn't even think about digital cable when he mentioned he had a cable box.

lol I have been watching it since it started and had to laugh at the fcc's lack of intelligence so I immediatly think digital

well, the situation has been rectified.. I guess... so guess who showed up this MONDAY morning at 9am? The Cable guy... So there was a miscommunication somewhere....either the lady on the phone forgot to say the word NEXT or the cable guy came on the wrong Monday.. either way... free installation happened.....

So it's all good.
