Just Had a Dish Network Installation – So Tired of Cable
So over the past several months, I’ve swapped out all the crusty old tube TVs with shiny new high def televisions. It’s quite nice. The amount of space they require as compared to those old dinosaurs is quite minimal. I’m a happy camper. Well that has been until recently.
With the switch to HDTV, I of course had to make the switch to cable boxes which supported and output the high def signal over HDMI. All was well for quite a while until my cable provider decided to update the software those cable boxes use. From that point on it was nothing but irritation. From annoying error messages asking me constantly to push a button if I still wanted to continue to watch a channel (of course I do, I’m watching it aren’t I?), to error messages telling me my tv didn’t support HDMI (say what?!), it was really starting to drive me batty.
Turns out the cable box I had was known for being very buggy which explained the error messages and the thing about being prompted to hit a button to continue watching something? That’s just part of the software. Seriously? That’s insane.
So the decision was made to have a dish network installation. After a little research I discovered something fantastic – FREE HD receivers for up to 3 TVs. Perfect. I have three TVs. The price was also more than right compared to what my wonderful cable provider was charging.
So far so good. See ya cable and you’re annoying HD cable box. Hope we never meet again.
