Comcast Story
So I upped my cable yesterday when a comcast guy came around to "check up on us". $10/m extra and I get comedy central and adult swim, the only 2 channels I actually care about outside of basic.
So he comes in, hands me a box and a remote (i made sure I didnt have to pay "rent" on the box, it was the free one). I come to find out, it's an SD box. It won't output the HD channels I receive. So I unplug it, and plug the cable back to the tv directly. I get my HD channels (basically fox and NBC come in as HD, and a few others say HD but all that's noticeable is the audio difference). And I get the rest of the channels too. Just, they're like channel number 103-9 instead of 60 like it should be. Ah well, I searched and wrte down the interesting ones on a piece of paper. Beats paying $6/m for an HD set top box. Fuck that.
And then he asked to use my bathroom. And I thought of jmtb's story.
