Cable Sucks

My first mistake was that I got cable in the first place.  I should have known better.  I had cable for a while a few years ago, and, compared to satellite with Tivo, was soooo not impressed.  And guess what?  They haven't changed a bit.  Oh sure, they added OnDemand movies.  But my cable box would die and have to be manually rebooted about 50% of the time I ever delved into that piece of the GUI interface.

I was just going to get basic digital cable with their DVR service.  I wanted to be able to tape a little "Daily Show", maybe some "Dinner For Five".  Turns out all I ever watch is on Fox and WB.  Sure, those channels aren't crystal clear over antenna.  But is it really worth 60 bucks a month so that I can see Gilmore Girls without static?  Nah, not really.

So I cancelled it today.  Today was the end of the "Try it for a month for FREE!" offer I originally signed up for.  Turns out, you can't actually cancel it until you bring them back the stupid box.  I find this out AFTER being on hold for their customer service for half an hour.

So you better believe I will be returning their crappy cable box tomorrow, and they better not THINK about charging me one penny.

Did I mention I have PMS?
