Wait. You had TEN channels?! We had three. Two of which were the same – and if we wanted to watch NBC we had to go to Grandma’s house at the top of the hill.

I do hear you on the ‘extra’ this and that – we just added HD to our lineup (for an extra $10) which killed our old Tivo that had the ability to record 300+ hours because I sunk $150 into it last year to upgrade the hard drive. yay. Oh and don’t even get me started on how you can’t record anything from HBO onto a DVD recorder. ;o)

I had a fight with cablevision about this very subject just the other day. Their excuse “those channels broadcast in both analog and digital and they are eliminating the analog feed and so therefore your need the box.” My question was CR- “well what about the OTHER channels that are out there?’ IO-”They are already digitial” CR- “Well why don’t I need the box to see them?” IO- “Those other channels are analog and that is going away.” CR- ” But if I can already see digitial channels without a box why do I need a box to see the ones are are going to digital?” IO- “Do you want to get the box or not?” I think this is just another way for Cablevision to RIP OFF its customers. They are charging an addition $6.00/box/month. When I signed up for this service I was told that it would only be 20.00 more a month that was $50.00 ago.

We have a dish and my husband likes to control what is on the TV. I’m usually knitting, so don’t mind too much.
Teaching parrots to say their address is a great thing. Only my parrot won’t talk if someone he doesn’t know is in the same room. Once he gets past 2 word phrases, we can try the address or phone number.

Your buttonbands look fabulous.

I’m w/Kim on the doctor thing.

Don’t start me on TV! How are those five premium cable channels? Not that A&E is much of a loss nowadays but it’s the principle of the thing. I miss Lovejoy, Miss Marple, Law and Order on A&E.

I have the same problems as you do with boxes and TiVo. I’m beginning to think I should watch them all online (however unlikely I am to do that) or at the end of the season on DVD’s.)

Stepping out from my quiet reader’s corner (not lurking) to say I’m very glad your temp is back to normal BUT if tiredness doesn’t go away within a day or so and/or temp rises again – Please check with your doctor and have some simple blood tests. Take care.

Love the sweater! I give up on TV. I rely entirely on my Netflix subscription. It's so much easier and less hassle to deal with. ; ) Jennifer's last blog post..Nicky Epstein Counterpane Masterpiece
