Gotta love COMCAST!

So you know all those ads from Comcast about how the digital conversion was coming but if you have Comcast you don't have to do a thing! Well that is not entirely true. If you don't already have Comcast's digital service then you have to add more to your T.V. If you don't they tell you that you will still get the first 29 channels. Well that pretty much leaves you with ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and a couple of others. All the rest of the channels are some government channels! So even though I didn't want to we have to add Comcast digital boxes to our T.V.'s, as if I don't already have enough stuff added to them. My biggest worry is whether I can get my TIVO to work with these new boxes. But to top it off the lady at Comcast, who could barely speak English, sent me 9 boxes. I do have 9 T.V.'s but only am putting boxes on 6 of them. The main box is supposed to get you extra movies, music and other things. The other 5 boxes will just allow us to get what we already have but of course for an additional cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We get the first 3 free but have to pay $2 a month each for the other boxes. So Comcast sends me 4 of the main boxes to use. Now I have to drive them back to their offices and return them and I'm sure they will look at me like it's my fault! Do I sound a bit ticked off? If you could feel my typing you would know how irratated I am. So now we hooked up all 6 boxes and got online to "activate" them and we are waiting to see if they will really work. It's supposed to take about 45 minutes. Time will tell I guess.
