My wife is (among other things) a Dish Network agent. Dish sent out a notice to dealers last week that our on-air channel 4 (WTTV, the local WB affiliate) would be up on channel 8454 today.
It’s not. At least it wasn’t 15 minutes ago.
Get with the program, Dish Network. As soon as you get channel 4 up, I’m cancelling my Comcast cable. But I can’t do that till you do, which I sure hope happens before basketball season starts. So right now you are costing me 18 bucks a month that I’d rather spend on, say, a premium channel…
Besides the fact that Comcast is the devil, and I pay them only because you can’t get on-air stations in this town for doodly. I have DSL from SBC because Comcast wouldn’t install a cable modem hooked up to my Windows 2000 server. “You might route other machines through it without having to pay to have multiple machines hooked up.” Fuck you, Bombast Cable. (My current DSL setup lets me hook up as many as 20 machines, no extra charge, not that I have 20 machines, but I do have 5, with another one coming.)
OK, just getting that off my chest 🙂

Comcast is apparently not familiar with this radical new technology, the BROADBAND ROUTER?
Or software routers like WinGate. But this was at least a year ago, so who knows (or cares) what they know…
Ah, it was October 2000. Anyway, they got a two-page finger-scorcher from me that was cc’d to the Indianapolis Cable Authority. I’d forgotten about the part where they came out the first time after I’d sat all day waiting for them and informed me that I needed permission from the condo management to run a new cable around the building. It was the second time when they said I couldn’t be hooked up to my server.
Man. I must have really been put out. The letter I wrote Comcast was seriously nasty 🙂 It started out with “YOU PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS!” in 18pt bold type and sort of went downhill from there 🙂
