Breaking news.....

Hubby returned from dropping S off at school and brought home a NEW CABLE BOX. Maybe now we can watch proper cable on a broken TV. Since the original cable box didn't even last 2 months and we have been watching cable out of our DVD player for two years, this is pretty exciting.

What is wrong with you guys?

How are hard is it to get a new cable box? Sure, there is probably only one Comcast office in DE, but really.

Oh, and what specifically is wrong with the TV?

It's a projection and the lamp thing is going. We are seeing double and playing Mario Kart makes me dizzy. Hubby is excited about getting a TV, but I am lukewarm.

The cable box is hard to do because I put hubby in charge. He hates Comcast so he did nothing about it. I was about to do it, but the weather was so nice last week I walked at lunch. We're off today and I suggested hubby take care of it and he actually did. I had to tell him how close the place was. I think he was amazed. Of course he hasn't called to get the signal, but he is grocery shopping.

Ahhh, all that makes a little more sense...although paying for something and not getting the product for two years is beyond my comprehension.

Sounds like a new TV is in order. Unless you are planning on going TV-less as a house hold...and it sounds to me like you are the only one on board for that adventure.

There was no extra charge for the cable box - we got upgraded for free. Since it wasn't costing anything, hubby figured we had no problem.

I know I am completely outvoted on getting rid of the TV. I do have nights where I kick hubs out if he wants to watch TV. I then put on music and read a book.
