Re: [COMCAST] Annoying call from COMCAST
It's not that I minded them checking on the service. It was just the intrusive quality of the person who called.
I understand that they check on boxes and were seeing "a problem". However, I did tell her my box was not connected, and I hadn't gotten around to connecting it. I was just suprised by her saying that I should connect it right now.
I was being sarcastic by the Cable Gestappo, by the way. But it was odd that I got a call at 9pm about my cable box.
On a side note. The reason the cable box was not hooked up was as follows. I like to record multiple shows on diff. channels at diff. times. With the cable hooked directly to the VCR, this is possible. Via the box, it is not possible, as the VCR always needs to be on channel 3. That is, the channel is controlled by the box.
As I decided to keep some digital functionality, I have yet to decide which TV to use the box on. One VCR, two TVs bedroom and living room. If I set up the box in the living room I can use the digital functions there, but not record diff channels(at least not by programming the VCR) That's why the box is not connected yet.
Maybe someone knows a solution to this. A splitter arangement of some sort? How do you record diff digital channels in the same day? |
