hd... someday...
Yesterday, I picked up a new HD cable box and came home to install it. No problem at first, but my $7 package of additional channels wasn't showing up. WTF. So, I spent over half an hour on the phone with support. They cycled the box. They checked the account. Everything was as it should be, I just didnt have the channels.
Apparently this also happened to my coworker. The tech had to come out. Because I'm not getting 4 channels.
ARGH.
So, at the same time we're getting a new bed delivered, the cable tech is coming out to check stuff.
Another problem I found was, if I try to use the HDMI connection, the cable box freaks out and stops ALL output signals, throwing up a warning message until someone hard boots it. Somewhere along the line, they have disabled this feature, and it's infuriating. Nala's gonna have a talk with the tech today and see what's up. We still get signal over the 3-color component input, but I'd much rather use the HDMI for consistency among all our components.
More news later.
